Abstract

This study examined the efficacy of human-centered foreign and security policies in the management of insecurity in Nigeria. This highlights the limitations inherent to the dominant state-centric security mechanism in Nigeria. The study argues that the proliferation of traditional threats manifesting in the Boko Haram insurgency, Biafra separatist agitation, Niger Delta militancy, and Fulani herdsmen uprising were attributed mainly to the government’s disregard for socioeconomic gaps and political contexts that predispose people to aggressive behavior. Instead of addressing waves of insecurity, military operations complicate and widen their scope. The study, therefore, calls for a review of the existing security architecture and foreign policy objectives of the state in line with the principles of human security. Understanding the context of fueling and sustaining insecurity as well as evolving appropriate human-centric security and foreign policy measures are key to managing violent conflicts in Nigeria. Most importantly, appropriate constitutional provisions relating to human security should be strictly implemented, while professionals should be properly engaged in the task of developing and implementing foreign security policies in Nigeria.

Abstract

This study examines the efficacy of the power sector reform in enhancing the development of the informal economy in the southeast geopolitical zone of Nigeria. It interrogates explicitly the effect of the unbundling of the electricity sector on job creation and livelihoods of the operators of the informal economy. Utilizing the mixed methods data approach and the Marxist theory of the postcolonial state, this study argues that the power sector reform is part of the grand strategy aimed at expanding capitalist penetration and protecting the economic interests of the advanced capitalist states. This self-serving interest of the capitalist institutions, which the power sector reform intends to protect explains the crisis in the power sector manifesting in poor electricity supply and increased tariffs for electricity consumers. Indeed, these untoward outcomes have negatively affected the development of the informal economy in southeast Nigeria. It, however, recommends a reevaluation of the market-based power sector reform in Nigeria.
