ABSTRACT
This project works under see the relevant issue of insecurity in Nigeria and its effect on economic growth and development of Nigeria. The incessant rise in Insecurity and retrogression in the economic development of Nigeria call for a concern among researchers and policy makers over the years. However, maintenance of internal security still remains the greatest challenges facing Nigeria today. Since the past decade or more, Nigeria has witnessed an unparalleled security challenges spawned by the activities of militants in the South-South region, kidnappers in the south east, violent armed robbery in most parts of the country, political assassination, ritual killings, Boko Haram insurgency and more recently activities of unknown gunmen in some parts of the northern region especially North East.
These social menaces, when put together impinge on the security of lives and property of both Nigerian citizens and foreigners living or those even trying to invest in the country. To ensure economic development in Nigeria therefore, various measures of curbing insecurity must be adopted, including preventive community policing, human development centered growth perspective, equitable distribution of resources as well as channeling of resources to frontline sectors of the economy among others. These social menace triggers off a worrisome sense of insecurity that challenges Nigeria’s efforts towards national economic development and consequently its vision. It also scares the attraction of foreign investment and their contributions to economic development in Nigeria.
