Abstract:

This paper seeks to establish a theoretical and empirical linkage between insurgency and natural resource extraction in Nigeria. It notes that owing to the weakness of the Nigerian state and the lack of political will to address the underlying causes of the insurgency in the country, armed insurgents have taken control of many of the country’s extractive processes. This results in massive resource theft and creates an allure for the spread of theatres of insurgency across the country. This has partly been responsible for Nigeria’s abysmal oil production per day and earnings from oil, despite t

Abstract:

<em>The Boko Haram insurgency has lately introduced a terrorist dimension into the crime space in Nigeria. The trademarks of the Boko Haram are wanton destruction of lives and property with reckless abandon, through bombings, abduction and slaughtering of human beings like rams, especially in Northern Nigeria. This has created palpable fear and sense of insecurity in the polity. It is a fact that the development of any country in the world is dependent on many factors, which may fast-track or retards its growth, among which security is central.

Abstract:

Insurgency and other violent conflicts in the Northeastern part of Nigeria remain a recurring challenge to Nigeria's security and national development. This is largely due to the activities of conflict entrepreneurs whose business interest is directed to stimulate and prolong conflicts through various means. The menace led to the destruction of lives and properties and the displacement of residents. Several interventions by the government have been put in place to curb the menace, yet insecurity heightens. This paper examined how conflict entrepreneurs promote insurgency and under-development

Border security management and defence are crucial to any measure that seeks to check effectively, transnational insurgency and other forms of cross-border criminalities in any part of Africa. However, addressing the issue of porosity of international boundaries, which in most parts allows unhindered movement of people and goods across the boundaries, has become a greater challenge for Lake Chad Basin Countries, especially, Nigeria, Cameroun, Niger and Chad. The fragility of the basin countries security systems and porous borders allowed for armed groups and common banditry to flourish. Thus,

This study critically evaluates the impact of insecurity on Nigeria's national development; it explores the interplay between persistent security challenges and the country's socio-economic progress. Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation and largest economy, has grappled with diverse security threats, including terrorism, insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, communal clashes, and herders-farmers conflicts. These threats have not only destabilised communities but also disrupted economic activities, strained governmental resources, and exacerbated social inequalities. Utilising the descriptive app

Abstract:

Ethnic and religious disputes present Nigeria with more internal concerns than external ones at the moment. Socioeconomic, political, and governance deficiencies are frequently cited in the research on religious violence in Nigeria as the primary drivers of this violence. Insecurity and religious violence in Nigeria are examined in this paper. Assassinations, ritual killings, armed robberies, kidnappings, tribalism, avarice, corruption, ethno-religious violence, banditry, and insurgency are just a few of the security concerns the nation currently faces.

Food insecurity remains a critical issue globally, as highlighted by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 2). In 2023, nearly 25 million Nigerians faced food insecurity due to factors like insurgency affecting agricultural activities. This, therefore, worsens the food insecurity in the country. Thus, this study investigates the dynamics between household consumption expenditure patterns and food security in Nigeria over a decade (2010-2019). This was done by analysing four waves of secondary panel data of 4,000 nationally representative households of the Nigeria General Household Survey GHS
