Analyzing the Implications of the Aristocratic Nationwide Protest in Nigeria on End Bad Governance and Public Policy Effectiveness on August 1, 2024

Abstract

This study looked at the relationship between Nigeria's ongoing insecurity and poor governance. The article makes the theoretical case that the injustice, corruption, and self-serving leadership of Nigeria's leadership class are to blame for the country's current security problems. Ethnic, communal, religious, and resource-related conflicts have persisted throughout most of Nigeria since the country's restoration to democracy in 1999, following nearly three decades of military administration. This is made worse by the leadership's apparent inability to solve important national concerns like reducing poverty, creating jobs, allocating resources, developing infrastructure, etc. The study concludes that while combating insecurity in Nigeria is a huge undertaking, it is not insurmountable. Nigerians must hence come together, and the ruling class needs to show a strong political will and unwavering dedication to battling insecurity.
