Abstract:Had Nigeria adequately followed up the discovery of oil with a further maximization of its natural resources in competitive value, it would more likely than not have been a creditable factor in advancing a New International Economic Order. As it is, Nigeria's enviable position in the international economic system in the early 1970s gradually but consistently became neutralized by the debt burden. The Nigerian State's monocultural economic system turned the oil boom into a period of doom and rendered insignificant whatever influence the nation could have had in the international economic system.
