Abstract

Security Council (UNSC).The study is rooted on the agitation and clamour by majority of the under-represented countries for seats in the Security Council and the developmental challenges facing them. The researcher discovered that the implication of insecurity in Nigeria, and to its bid to secure and maximize the Security Council seat remains negatively overwhelming. Consequently; insecurity is too dangerous an issue to be ignored given the danger it poses to Nigeria’s ambition and the capacity of the state to maximize the seat even when given on a platter of gold. This research adopted ex-post-facto research design and data was generated through secondary sources. It was recommended that the permanent membership of the United Nations Security Council should be increased to give room for equitable representation, hence cutting across every region of the world. Moreover, the Nigerian government should formulate and effectively implement policies and programmes capable of addressing the root causes of insecurity in Nigeria such as poverty, unemployment, environmental degradation, dearth of infrastructural facilities, uneven development, among others.
