"Nigeria in world politics: trends and challenges is a compendium of essays to honour Major General Joseph Nanven Garba, CFR, who passed on while serving as the Director-General of NIPPS, Kuru. It is a token of his national and international standing that inspired the twenty-nine contributors drawn from wide spectrum of Nigerian Society. The contributors are made up of eminent scholars, diplomats, military officers, and civil servants. The wide-ranging scope of issues covered in the twenty-eight essays of the book are in consonance with the pioneering work of Major General Joseph N. Garba, entitled Diplomatic Soldiers. The contributors have examined past and present. Nigeria's actions and inactions in global affairs, from the economic, social, political and strategic perspectives, with a view to distilling valuable lessons for the future. This partially explains the unstated mission of this collection - sensitizing the interest of scholars, policy-makers and opinion moulders in Nigeria, in particular, and the rest of Africa and the world on issues of international relations. On the whole, Nigeria in world of politics is a symbolic microcosm of the tons of sympathies which flowed across Nigeria as Major General Joseph N. Garba left the stage when his service were most needed." - From the Book.
