Abstract
Development in Nigeria has been hindered by the disruptive influences of insecurity. This paper attempts to examines the effects of insecurity on Nigeria’s development from 1999 to 2022 and to set the conditions necessary for change. The paper contends that there exists a strong tie between security and development because development cannot be attained in an atmosphere of insecurity. Hence the paper conceptualizes development and security as two distinct but interrelated ideas that influence one another. The study adopted qualitative and quantitative research design using historical method of analysis, and largely, secondary sources of data were employed. Therefore, the paper recommends that, if development is to be achieved in Nigeria, constitutional as well as policy measures should be adopted. Besides, a collective measure that comprises all stakeholders such as the local, state and federal government as well as the international agencies are required to tackle this issue of insecurity which is wreaking havoc on the nation.
