    (Lapai International Journal of Politics, 2018-04) Raji, Shittu Ade; Yusuf, Idowu Mulikat
    This paper examined the main thrusts of the bilateral relations between Nigeria and Canada and the extent to which the relationship has contributed to the socio-economic development of both countries. Findings from the paper, which relied on secondary data confirmed that the bilateral relation between Nigeria and Canada has benefitted both countries. However, Nigeria has not benefitted optimally from the relationship owing to concerts of internal development challenges. The challenges include weak economy, dilapidated social infrastructures and low industrialization, which made it impossible for her to maximize the investment opportunities inherent her bilateral relationship with Canada. It is recommended that issues of weak infrastructure, import-oriented economy, weak industrialization, which are among the primary causes of the lull in the economy of Nigeria, should be urgently addressed for the country to benefit maximally from Canada.
