The Covid-19 pandemic has, no doubt, affected what we know as international relations and has also caused diplomatic tensions all over the globe. Indeed, it appears that A New World Order looms. Hitherto friendly nations are at loggerheads, and the blame games are the in things. Conversely, some countries are becoming “chummy”. The novel virus caught the world totally unprepared, thereby creating unprecedented & unprepared responses. This new experience has created a sudden transmogrification in global affairs and policies.

Nigeria, a member of the comity of nations, is equally affected but we are positive this global lockdown serves us an opportunity to possibly review and realign Nigeria’s Foreign Policy to the new realities of national interests.

Public Affairs & Diplomacy Centre (PADICE) is pleased to invite you to a webinar with the theme: COVID 19 AND A NEW WORLD ORDER: THE NEED FOR A REVIEW OF NIGERIA’S FOREIGN POLICY?, holding on Thursday, 21 May 2020 at 3pm UK/Nigerian time.

The webinar will present an opportunity to hear from experts with many years’ experience on the strategies and policies Nigeria can amend and possibly implement for building a better and viable bilateral & multilateral relationships going forward. We are also sure this webinar will review the blueprint of Nigeria’s foreign policy and discuss the opportunities created by the present situation.
