dc.description.abstractNation-states are akin to organisms, for they evolve, grow, develop, reproduce or are reborn and die. All organisms possess adaptive features for their survival and security for the perpetuation of their species population. Similarly, nation-states also, keep in place certain tangible and intangible structures for their survival and security for immortalizing their existence. The paper focused on how science education can be efficiently re-engineered, managed and utilized as a potent tool for sustainable national security. First, the paper critically scrutinized various elements of national security, such as economic, social, food, environment, military security, and so forth. The paper took into account the ongoing security challenges facing the nation. Second, the paper advocated for a strong synergy between the science education community, research scientists, entrepreneurs and the political class as part of measures to enhance sustainable national security. Finally, the paper calls for a mandatory qualitative functional science education programme at the secondary school level to ensure sustainable security in the country.en_US
