Nigeria teamed up with other developing countries to assert a neutral posture under the platform of the Non-aligned Movement. The Non-aligned Movement is a group of countries that decided not to align themselves with any major power blocs during the Cold War. They sought to assert their independence and sovereignty by maintaining a neutral stance in global affairs. The movement was founded in 1961 and included countries from Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Nigeria, along with other developing countries, saw the movement as a way to assert their independence and promote their economic and political interests without being forced to align themselves with any major power.
