This paper examines the factors that influence foreign policy making and implementation in Nigeria. It particularly shows that Nigeria's foreign policy like many other nations is determined by many factors. These include; internal political dynamics, the strength of the economy, domestic political stability, and military factor among others. The paper therefore concludes that if Nigeria must continue to formulate and implement effective foreign policy, there is the need to adopt a sound economic policy that will change the country's structure, since all foreign policies spring from the economic base of a state.
