Question 1 Report

Nigeria broke diplomatic relations with France under the Balewa government over
Answer Details
Nigeria broke diplomatic relations with France in 1961 due to French atomic tests in the Sahara. The Balewa government was opposed to these tests, which they believed posed a threat to the health and safety of Nigerians and the wider African continent. The decision to break diplomatic ties with France was seen as a way to show solidarity with other African countries who were also opposed to the tests.
