Combating Insecurity in Nigeria: An Integrated Conflict Management Approach
Journal Title: Journal of Empirical Economics - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The paper examines combating Insecurity in Nigeria: “An Integrated Conflict Management Approach’’. It conceptualizes insecurity as the worthlessness of life and property because of its unsafe or unprotected nature which creates panic in the lives of the people. The paper stresses that today no single issue has dominated the Nigerian scene more than insecurity of life and property. The anxiety and concern for it can only be compared with the anxiety and concern that gripped the international community in the immediate PostSecond World War years over the possibility of a nuclear holocaust. The above has been buttressed by the litany of kidnaps and killings in Nigeria. The various causes of this insecurity were pointed out and the imperativeness of the Integrated Conflict Management Approach to quelling was emphasized. The paper concludes by stressing that the immediate and remote causes of this ugly monster (insecurity) should be addressed via integrated conflict management approach in order to quell the insecure situation in the country.
