Regional Security Formations as a Panacea to the Myriads of Insecurity in Nigeria, Enugu State in Perspective
Security decentralization is a hallmark of true federalism across the globe. Yet, the Federal Government of Nigeria refused to decentralize security despite the prevailing high rate of insecurity—terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, killings, robbery, and banditry going on in Nigeria. Hence, a clear attestation to the failure of the centralized security architecture, leading to the formation of regional security outfits across the country. The method used is a cross-sectional survey leveraging quantitative and qualitative data. Findings revealed that regional security formations are the antidote to the insecurity in Nigeria. Recommendations made anchored on the liberal perspective of security in a secular state.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS) was founded in 1965 to further research and study on Asia and Africa. JAAS is a peer reviewed journal of area studies recognised for consistent scholarly contributions to cutting-edge issues and debates. The journal welcomes articles, research notes, and book reviews that focus on the dynamics of global change and development of Asian and African nations, societies, cultures, and the global community. Published articles cover: -development and change -technology and communication -globalization -public administration -politics -economy -education -health, wealth, and welfare -poverty and growth -humanities -sociology -political science -linguistics -economics JAAS adheres to a double-blind reviewing policy in which the identity of both the reviewer and author are always concealed from both parties. Decisions on manuscripts will be taken as rapidly as possible. However, while it is hoped that a decision can be made in 6-8 weeks, the refereeing process makes it impossible to predict the length of time that will be required to process any given manuscript.
