    ASSESSMENT OF GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN SECURITY IN NIGERIA
    (Department of Political Science, Federal University, Lokoja, 2021) Isiaq, Atanda Abdulwaheed; Lawal, Divine Favour
    Human security is very important but sometimes it is an elusive goal in Nigeria. While the first part of the Nigerian constitution emphasizes security of lives and properties a cursory look at virtually every region in Nigeria would show how this has become a mirage. In many ways, North eastern part of Nigeria represents a microcosm for the panorama of Bokoharam menace that threatens human existence and impedes development in the region. The epistemic clashes between Farmers and Herders have overwhelmed the states of the North central. The proliferation of violence and activities of the dreaded bandits have almost reduced the Northwest to a jungle. The outcome of the ENDSARS protest brought another dimension to the debate of insecurity in Nigeria.In a democratic system, social justice is crucial but it remains an elusive goal in Nigeria. Therefore, this paper seeks to critically examine the issues above through the lens of human security perspective. A qualitative research method is adopted for the study. The data used in this study is gathered from secondary sources such as books, journals, Newspapers and publications from conference proceedings, government organisations, and international organisations. This paper seeks to advance that human security hinges upon good governance as they work together to ensure a sustainable development in Nigeria
