520 3 _aOfficials visits deserve attention as important instruments of governance, national unification, and as means of conducting external diplomacy. Following Nigeria`s independence on October 1, 1960, the country saw a significant increase in official visits. Each visit, and the official publication documenting the event, is a vehicle through which the social, economic, and political development of the country can be viewed and understodd. As bibliographic artifacts, official visits are extremely elusive. They comprise a subgenre within two larger genres, government publications and grey literature, with which they share commom problems. The body of information they contain ha remained untapped, and a vastly unidentified resource in the field of public administration, international relations, history, and political science. The purpose of this article is to identify, analyze, and describe published Nigerian government information on official visits. There are three major levels of analysis: international visits, interstate visits, and intrastate visits. A substantive guide to these materials, with locations, for use in collection development, reference, and for scholars likely to undertake future research on the topic, is appended
