Seventh Brainstorming Session on Nigeria's Foreign Policy and Global
Challenges in 2012
The global
environment is increasingly becoming terroristic. The
political climate is changing fast beyond the Arab spring saga.
The reform of the UN is yet to be meaningfully addressed. The
impact of climate change is also becoming more difficult to cope
with. Regional integration in Africa is still far from making
much progress. In fact, the future directions of the
ECOWAS and the AU in the constantly changing world need a focused
articulation. It was in this connection, that the Institute
organised its Seventh Brainstorming Session on Nigeria's Foreign
Policy and Global Challenges in 2012 on Wednesday, 16th
November, 2011 in Lagos
In attendance were serving and past Ministers of
Foreign Affairs, serving and retired Ambassadors,
media chieftains and her representatives, the academics from both
public and private universities, and research staff of the Nigerian Institute
of International Affairs.

The
Nigerian Institute of International Affairs was established in 1961,
with the aim of providing a nursery of ideas on what direction
Nigeria should take on international affairs. Since inception, the
Institute has been organising Conferences, Roundtables and Lectures.
These are aimed at addressing current foreign policy issues and
anticipating others still on the horizon.
The
Institute is a specialised instrument of foreign policy formulation
in Nigeria. It serves as an intellectual base upon which
decision-makers rely for informed opinion and expert advice in order
to make rational choices between contending policy options.
