Moreover, the study underscores the importance of Nigeria securing a more robust and equitable representation within key international organizations, such as the African Union, to effectively advocate for its interests and priorities on the global stage. The findings of this study highlight the critical role of a well-aligned and proactive foreign policy in advancing Nigeria's economic growth, regional stability, and global influence.
