Security, Governance and Wealth Creation in Nigeria: The Way Forward

Abstract

It is usually common for countries enmeshed in security problems to devise a military strategy in arresting them. While this remains a temporary and short-term measure, it does not always offer a long term solution. Against this backdrop, the study attempted a theoretical relationship between and among security, governance and wealth creation and therefore found how governance can bring about long-term solution to security problems through wealth creation. Among others, the work offers the strategies necessary for strengthening governance, reducing corruption and creating wealth in Nigeria and by extension, solving the security challenges both manifest and latent that have continued to engulf the country over the years.
