Sommario/riassunto

This book examines Nigeria's significant contributions to the liberation struggle against apartheid in South Africa over three decades. Written by Oboshi Agyeno, it provides a detailed account of Nigeria's diplomatic efforts, financial support, and educational aid to South African freedom fighters. The book highlights Nigeria's influential role as a member of the Frontline States, a coalition dedicated to ending apartheid. It seeks to address gaps in historical documentation regarding Nigeria's impact on the anti-apartheid movement, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging African countries'



collective efforts in South Africa's liberation. The intended audience includes historians, scholars, and individuals interested in African history and international relations.
