ABSTRACT

Military intervention and control are considered as both an anomaly and a crucial signal of political instability. This perspective highlights the problem-solving, stability - restoring and country-preserving tasks adopted by the so-called corrective Military administrations. As noted earlier, the Post-independence Political history of Nigeria has mostly been one of Military interference in politics as well as the modalities and repercussions of this intervention:- Coups, counter-coups, a civil war, and Military administration. From the above debate, it has been proven that the Military has dominated the nation for twenty - eight years, that is, the time covered by this research, and accomplished much in the pursuit of the country's foreign policy and external relations. It is as such that the Military phenomena have become highly fundamental in the examination of the Nation's Foreign Policy and national image abroad. Since independence, there has been a national consensus in support of the Broad foreign policy principles and objectives enunciated by Prime Minister Abubakar Tafawa Balewa; each of the governments at the national level over time gave its interpretation to these broad foreign policy objectives, according to its level of emphasis to each of them.
