dc.description.abstractThis paper presents findings of a study on trade relationship between the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of countries' and EuropeanUnion (EU). The analysis focuses on the challenges and opportunities for the Nigerian economy should the country decides to lead other members of the ECOWAS bloc2 to ratify and implement the Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA)which seeks to alter the long standing non reciprocal arrangements that have existed between the two trading partners under the initial Lome Convention. The paper seeks to increase the understanding of the main issues at stake in the negotiations in order to enablepolicy-makers and government representatives make informed decisions whennegotiating the EPAs. The ultimate aim of this paper is to articulate those principles and strategies that should guide Nigeria in leading other ECOWAS countries in the negotiation process to secure a development-focused EPA. The paper is structured into six sections: the first section provides a historical development of the emergence of EPAs; the second section analyzes the basic principles in EPA negotiations; the third section appraises the Legal framework for EPAs; the fourth section focuses on the implications of the EPA for Nigeria; the Key Challenges are examined in section five. In section six, the paper discusses the possible opportunities while section seven recommends strategies for ensuring a development-oriented EPA.en_US
