dc.description.abstractThe formation of association of countries at global, regional and sub-regional levels is regarede as a matter of necessity by nation-states in order to promote political, economic and socio-cultural unity among them. It has also been realised that this would help reduce discord and conflict among states. It was on this premise that the European Union (EU) was formed. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the political, economic and social implications of Great Britain's exit from the EU, while Britain would be able to assert its sovereignty, its trading activities would be adversely affected. Anti-immigration laws that Britain may propose would impact negatively on Nigeria. The research methodology used is qualitative. The work was exploratory in nature. It made use of secondary sources like textbooks, internet materials, magazines and newspapers. The study found out that Brexit had lots of negative consequences for Nigeria, while in the case of Britain; the negative consequences are not overwhelming. The paper concluded that integration among nation-states is an essential ingredient of development. The paper recommends that Britain should still maintain close links with the members of the EU since no country can claim self-sufficiency. It was also recommended that Nigeria as a stakeholder should come up with an economic blueprint that would mitigate the impact of Britain's decision to exit the European Union.
