Abstract
Nigeria universities face numerous challenges, but this paper focuses on just two, which encompass the other challenges. Both the public and private universities in Nigeria face these issues and thus, it is of the essence that they are brought to light and expounded upon. Hence, this paper delves into the issue of good governance and insecurity in Nigerian universities, and it also involves how education or the lack of good university education thereof can result in the aforementioned issues that will later plague universities. This brings about a dangerous cycle that would have no easy fix unless the issues are examined independently and linked subsequently. A brief examination of how these issues affect the progress of university education in Nigeria will be handled in a suitable introduction which will detail the reason why this study is essential and give a brief insight into the topical terms. The introduction will also include some objectives of the topic, which is what the paper intends to achieve in the process of its completion. An insightful look into the topical terms will be given with a follow-up of the relationship between the terms to give a complete understanding of the terms. A suitable literature review on the topical terms will be provided to give backing to the paper discussion, and solutions to the topical issues will be adduced thereafter. An applicable way forward to the topic will be provided to give a reader a practicable step to ensuring positive change as far as the topic is concerned.
Highlights
The problems in Nigeria seems to be never-ending
This paper will provide an examination of the topical areas of education, good governance, and insecurity to see their interrelationships and how if they are left unresolved, they will result in further problems that will leave the nation in ruins as they are prolonged
In the view of Udoh (2015), the causes of insecurity include porous borders that allow criminals to enter into the country indiscriminately; ease of proliferating arms and ammunition illegally for criminals; peaceful protests for change in Nigeria keep being hijacked by thugs and miscreants; kidnapping; oil bunkering; militancy; lack of government transparency and inability to guarantee the safety of the nation’s citizens; increase the rate of unemployment; religious extremists who will go through any means to get their agenda across usually resulting in loss of life; selfish political agendas which only fund the lifestyles of those in office; elections aren’t conducted fairly at times and are usually characterized by corruption; thuggery, violence, and fear; tribalism, etc
Summary
The problems in Nigeria seems to be never-ending. This is so because despite identifying the areas that require change, nothing has been done to implement that change. The leaders who have been trusted with keeping the nation and its people secure as well as providing welfare have shown a lackadaisical attitude to governance. This attitude is a contributing factor to the increase in the rate of insecurity (Efeurhobo & Fredrick, 2020). Other issues in society such as poverty, illiteracy, corruption, diseases etc., are on the rise because of the failure to address the topical areas It is the flagrant corruption, tribalism and constant disregard for the common man that cause the nation to keep falling. This paper will provide an examination of the topical areas of education, good governance, and insecurity to see their interrelationships and how if they are left unresolved, they will result in further problems that will leave the nation in ruins as they are prolonged
