The analysis reveals that Nigeria faces a multifaceted challenge stemming from governance shortcomings, which have created an environment conducive to extremist activities and criminality. Notably, the emergence of groups like Boko Haram has perpetuated violence, resulting in a humanitarian crisis. Additionally, the nation contends with high levels of crime and other forms of terrorism, further undermining stability and development.

It emphasizes the need for comprehensive, long-term solutions, including improved governance and social cohesion, to address the root causes of these issues and foster lasting peace and prosperity in Nigeria. The paper recommends that the Nigerian government needs to invest in education and job creation to provide young people with opportunities and hope for the future.
