Abstract: | The problem of insecurity in Nigeria has assumed a high dimension in the years after 2009. Insecurity has brought in its wake a new national trend where everybody feels insecured. In the Post-civil war years in Nigeria, the vogue was armed robbery but in recent years due to perceived bad governance, leadership ineptitude, corruption and greed, issues as ethnic militias, militancy and their allies have filled out the landscape. To this effect, the educational sector is not spared. Several schools have been attacked by militants in recent years and times. Other vices very common in Nigerian schools now include kidnapping for ransom, abductions and outright assassinations after collecting ransom. This paper examined the concept of insecurity as well as its origin and spread in Nigeria tracing the types of insecurity experienced in other lands with the hope of proffering solutions to our threatened existence and the erosion of our core values. The study further looked at the challenges confronting the attempt to solve the problem of insecurity and finally provided a pathway that will facilitate the eradication of insecurity in Nigeria. |
