Evolution of Subnational Foreign Economic Relations in Nigeria

Updated: Apr 12, 2024

Aniyie, I.A., & Omiunu, O. (2018) · South African Journal of International Affairs



In the current dispensation of civilian rule in Nigeria (1999- present), her subnational governments (SNGs) have increasingly been engaging in economic activities which impact how Nigeria conducts her international economic interactions. This emerging trend is at variance with the existing legal provisions under the 1999 Nigerian constitution, which preclude SNGs from this policy space. This paper examines the evolution of the constitutional framework for SNG involvement in Nigeria’s foreign economic relations since independence. It is the argument in this paper that the exclusion of SNGs from foreign affairs under the 1999 constitution is a departure from the original configuration at independence. It is further argued that the recent episodes of SNG involvement in international economic activities are occurring despite the constitutional restrictions due to external factors such as globalization and internal factors such as the growing need among SNGs to find alternative ways to fund their economic development objectives.
