Nigeria is the most dynamic country on the African continent. Yet the legacy of colonialism, deep-rooted corruption, exposure to climate change and the proliferation of small arms have created a precarious security situation that holds back the country’s potential for peace and prosperity.

Security in Nigeria explores the many security threats facing Nigeria and assesses the government’s responses to date. With contributors spanning three continents, it provides an original and comprehensive analysis of ‘old’ and ‘new’ security threats and offers original solutions to address the crisis.

Dr Caroline Varin is Senior Lecturer in International Relations at Regent's University London and Associate at LSEIdeas at the London School of Economics Dr Freedom Onuoha is Senior Lecturer at the Department of Political Science at the University of Nigeria.
