ABSTRACT
As the world marks the beginning of a new decade in the 21st century, the debate on the prevalent upsurge in Insecurity and its attendant effect on the economy has been a live issue in both local and the international fora. People may have the ability to do and be many things, yet this ability may be cut off, or people’s sense of well-being may be adversely impaired with high levels of insecurity. Such insecurity includes the possibility of economic instability, health crises, and injury or death as a result of criminal or political violence. In most cases, sustained political violence may lead to the break-up of communities and families, forced migration and the need to re-establish lives in strange and alien environments. Under such circumstance, there is no doubt that if such events are widespread, they have a serious negative impact on many people’s lives, and therefore adversely affect economic growth. A cursory look at the concept of human security and the economy reveals that both concepts are interlinked and indivisible in nature.
