Nigeria has firmly denied any plans to host foreign military bases, particularly from France, reaffirming its stance on maintaining sovereignty and control over national security. This decision aligns with Nigeria’s historical resistance to similar proposals, such as those from the United States, highlighting a consistent policy to protect its territorial integrity. The Nigerian public’s views are mixed; while some praise the defense of autonomy, others worry about forsaking beneficial partnerships. This move is part of a broader African trend toward self-reliance and could influence geopolitical alliances by promoting respect for sovereignty and independence.
