Abstract

Nigeria, the world sixth most populous nation, is faced with an array of security challenges like most developing nations in West Africa, North Africa and the Middle East. The level of insecurity in Nigeria has risen to an unprecedented level. No part of the six geopolitical zones or regions could be said to be safe. The security challenges in each region of the country are slightly integrated and peculiar as well. From insurgency, terrorism, banditry to cattle rustling in the North to farmer-herder conflict, kidnapping, bank robbery, secessionist and separatist agitations in the South of the country. No part of the country is free of insecurity. The study investigated the characteristics of the security challenges confronting the country and analyzed its peculiarities in the six geopolitical zones. The study revealed that the security challenges ravaging the country were domestically created and interrelated. Inversely, it would require some domestic dynamic military cum pragmatic socio-political approaches to quell. The study adopted a quantitative method of analysis and drew from the benefit of insight and experience of the author who had served in the Nigerian military. It further recommended new inclusive security and political strategies for quelling the uprising in the country.

Abstract

Local government is the government at the grassroots closest to the people. It is the tier of government administration that coordinates the activities of citizens at the local community levels. Local government as a concept of government existed long before the arrival of the colonialists. There were forms of local government administrations in Nigeria before colonial rule. During colonialism, the British's indirect rule system was built upon existing local administrations in Nigeria. However, the story is not the same for local government administration regarding structure and organization in the country today. The study x-rayed the various phases and eras of local government development in Nigeria. It further analyzed the present realities of local administration in the country. The study employed a qualitative approach. The qualitative data were generated from interview responses from relevant stakeholders (such as Traditional leaders and senior local government administrative staff). Also, data were gathered from existing relevant literature. Data collected were analyzed using the context analysis method. The study revealed that local government administration in Nigeria has passed through torturous phases. It identified the lack of local government autonomy amongst others as the main challenge bedeviling its development in the country. The study concluded with recommendations to reposition local government for effective service delivery as Nigeria's third tier of government.
