Solving Nigeria’s insecurity challenges with youth integration

SECURITY is freedom from physical hurt, injury, human right abuse or other threats to what constitutes the core of individual security. My views differ sharply on how the communal concept of security as it concerns the youth should be expanded from this core.
 For some, maladministration, youth marginalization, youth exploitation, inefficient security institutions, hunger, disease and environmental pollution represent grave security threats even worse than physical violence. Thus, conditions of abject poverty or powerlessness are viewed as not qualitatively different from susceptibility to physical violence during conflict.

Needful, but sad to say, that the greater percentage of Nigerians are ignorant and poverty-stricken despite all the abundant resources in the country, hence the insecurity challenges. It is right to conclude that, the continuous epidemic revolution of crimes and terrorism, which we have experienced in the past few years in our country, may not be unconnected with the alarming rate of youth unemployment. It is disheartening to note that a majority of Nigerian youths are unemployed; and the few ones in employment are confronted with so much of socio-economic pressure from hordes of defendants .
