AN ANALYSIS OF NIGERIA-CAMEROON RELATIONS (1990-2007)

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Nigeria and Cameroon, two prominent nations in West Africa, share a complex and multifaceted relationship that has evolved significantly over the years. From 1990 to 2007, this period witnessed pivotal changes in both countries’ political landscapes, regional dynamics, and bilateral interactions. Understanding the intricacies of their relationship during this era is crucial for comprehending broader regional stability and economic cooperation in West Africa.

Nigeria and Cameroon’s historical ties predate their independence from colonial rule. Formerly under British and French administrations respectively, their borders and interactions were shaped by colonial legacies that continue to influence their diplomatic and economic engagements today. The end of colonialism marked a new chapter where both countries navigated their post-independence paths, occasionally leading to tensions over territorial disputes and economic interests.

This study seeks to analyze the diplomatic, economic, and political dimensions of Nigeria-Cameroon relations from 1990 to 2007. Specifically, it examines how historical legacies, regional geopolitics, and internal developments within each country influenced their bilateral interactions during this period. By focusing on these years, the study aims to uncover the underlying factors that either strengthened or strained their relationship, offering insights into broader implications for regional stability and cooperation in West Africa.
