Should Nigeria join the European Union’s Economic Partnership Agreement with the other ECOWAS states?

Abstract

This debate piece explores the possible consequences for Nigeria in the event that she signs up to the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) between the European Union (EU) and the other Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) member states. It argues that in a global firmament driven by economic conflict, the struggle for resources and realist economic nationalism – and with cut-throat competition as the norm in international political economy – it will amount to folly for the nation to embrace a partnership whose ramifications are at best murky. The author thus questions whether the EPA signed by ECOWAS with the EU will be favourable to the Nigerian people.
