Abstract

This study examines the role of the United Nations in enhancing security in Nigeria between 2019 and 2024, The research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of UN diplomatic initiatives and humanitarian interventions in supporting Nigeria’s national security goals. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 300 respondents drawn from United Nations staff and government ministries, alongside secondary sources. The objective of the study is to evaluate the relationship between United Nations security in Nigeria from 2019 to 2024, Findings indicate that a significant majority (over 75%) of respondents acknowledged the United Nations’ impact as either significant or very significant in improving security in Nigeria. Humanitarian agencies such as UNHCR, WFP, and UNICEF were especially recognized for their role in supporting internally displaced persons and mitigating vulnerability in conflict-affected regions. Despite these successes, the study identifies certain limitations, such as limited operational reach, funding constraints, and weak local governance structures. The research recommends that sustainable security outcomes require deeper local collaboration, strengthened institutional capacity, and enhanced strategic deployment. These insights contribute to policy formulation for both international bodies and national stakeholders in building a more secure Nigeria.
