Concept:The Anglo-Nigerian Defence Pact was a military agreement between Nigeria and Britain that was cancelled because of public opposition and the desire for full sovereignty.
Explanation:Nigeria signed the defence pact with Britain in
1960, immediately after gaining independence.
The pact permitted British military personnel and equipment to remain in Nigeria.
Many Nigerians saw this as an attack on their newly won independence.
Students, labour unions, and nationalist groups protested strongly against the agreement.
The government was forced to reconsider its position due to this public pressure.
In
1962, Nigeria officially cancelled the pact.
This move allowed Nigeria to assert full control over its foreign and defence policies after decolonisation.
