It is a compulsory course for all post-graduate diploma students in the field of Criminology and Security Studies of the University. The course is also recommended to any other post-graduate students especially those in the School of Arts and Social Sciences, who may have interest in the study and analysis of security threats and the mitigation techniques that can be adopted to prevent the occurrence of various threats or/and reduce the losses that may accompany the occurrence of any threats. The course can also be taken as an elective or required course by other post-graduate students whose main field(s) of discipline is not Criminology and Security Studies. However, the Course shall consist of 20 units, which are divided into 4 modules, and each of these modules shall consist of 5 units whereby the study draws a link between one unit and the other. In the first 2 modules of this course, we focus on various areas of discourse that explain the subject- types of security threats while the last 2 modules illuminate on various threat mitigation measures and crime management approaches that can assist in no small measure to prevent, detect, and control all forms of security threats. On the whole, the units contained in the course deal with the meaning and types of security threats; basic human or manmade security threats, terrorism as a security threat; war as a security threat; information warfare as a security threat; analyses of geological, climatic and environmental threats; basic types of security; civil security approaches to threat mitigation; risk psychology and analysis; among others. More interestingly, the material largely draws its case studies from security conditions and major threats experienced in Nigeria and Africa with the aim of exposing the reader or student to security challenges confronting Nigeria in particular and Africa as a whole. Having known that our study on types and analysis of security threats cannot be complete if we fail to have the knowledge of the overall incidence of security 4 CSS 244 Types and Analysis of Security Threats threats and mitigation techniques in some other places or continents, we shall also cite examples from other parts of the world including America, Europe and Asia. The course has no compulsory pre-requisites for it to be registered for. The course guide informs us on what this course is all about, what students will learn in each unit, what text materials we shall be using and how we can make the best use of these materials. This course guide also emphasises on the need for students to take tutor- marked assignments so seriously. However, necessary information on tutor-marked assignments shall be made known to students in a separate file, which will be sent to each of them at the appropriate time. This course is also supported with periodic tutorial classes. What You Will Learn in this Course CSS 645: Types and Analysis of Security Threats as a course in the field of Criminology and Security Studies at the National Open University of Nigeria focuses on a wide range of issues that bother on the meaning and types of security threats as well as identifying many threat mitigation measures and crime detection and control mechanisms in reducing the adverse effects of various security threats on people or communities. In this course, we carefully analyse and assess security threats, to assist the student not only to identify these threats but also to develop diagnostic framework through which they can proffer solutions towards hazard mitigation and effective security management. Also, the reader or student will be exposed to various measures that can safeguard the protection of life and property against the incidence of security threat and hazard. Nevertheless, the essence of these safety measures is at least to provide the student or reader with various ways through which he/she can reduce losses from any incidence on hazard or security attack, if you cannot prevent such threat or hazard from occurring. Knowing the impact that active involvement of civilians in security can have in complementing and increasing the capacity of the security personnel to carryout their duties effectively, the course also explores the strategic importance of civil security and how it can contribute to effective security management and threat mitigation. The issue of risk is germane to a discourse on security threats. This is because we take risks in our daily activities, and through risk psychology, we shall be explaining why some people take the issue of security risk so seriously while others do not take it seriously. In this analysis of risk, we examine how some individual or collective or governmental undertakings or actions can increase the possibility of risk, which may have either positive or adverse effects on our security or wellbeing. The material also focuses on other crime control and threat mitigation approaches including vulnerability and Capacity Assessment (VAC), Crime analysis as well as data mining and automated data analysis. Course Aims 5 CSS 244 Types and Analysis of Security Threats The overall aim of CSS 244: Types and Analysis of Security Threats as a course is to explore the meaning and types of security threats. It aims to classify various types of threats according to their peculiar conditions and features. Basically, threats are often classified as natural and human forms of security threats but this course further delineates the classification of threats into geological, climatic, environmental and human or manmade security threats for conceptual clarity and better appreciation of the subject-types of security threats. The course also explains different approaches and techniques through which security threats can be mitigated or controlled. The material describes the meaning of various types of basic security and their different approaches to general security management. These include measures to safeguard the security of computer and information systems, physical structures, infrastructure, public health, food supply among others. The course also shows the importance of civil security approaches, risk psychology and analysis, simulation, crime analysis and data mining and automated data analysis to threat mitigation and crime control. The material draws its case studies from the local and international environments. The course aims to: •• Conceptualise the term security threat; •• Identify various security threats; •• Classify or categorise various security threats; •• Discuss the meaning and types of various human or man-made security threats; •• Examine various manmade security threats; •• Explain the meaning and types of geological

  • Participation of Women in Politics and Leadership in Nigeria: Challenges and Prospects
    Journal of African Studies and Sustainable Development. Vol.1, No.1. 2018. ISSN Online: 2630-7073, ISSN Print 2630-7065. www.apas.org.ng/journals.asp PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN IN POLITICS AND LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA: CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS Ushe Mike Ushe, Ph.D Department of Religious Studies, National Open University of Nigeria, Jabi, Abuja [email protected] Abstract Nigeria has been recording low participation of women in both elective and appointive positions. Women, who are a major stakeholder in the developmental project of any society globally, have been marginalized, and their low participations in political leadership have been attracting a lot of attention from scholars. This paper, examines the challenges hindering Nigerian women’s effective participation in politics and leadership for sustenance of democracy in Nigeria. The paper adopts a multi-dimensional method which makes use of questionnaires, interviews and observation for collection of data and analysis. The study revealed that women are marginalized and feature minimally in government because Nigeria lacks a legislative framework that secures quotas for women in political parties. Patriarchal attitude, poor informal networks and mentoring, finance, religion and educational status were found to militate against women’s participation in Nigerian politics and leadership. To overcome these problems, the study recommends, among others, that there is need for the development of electoral reforms that would promote equitable representation of women and respect for due process, empowerment of women to ensure their access to credit facilities, improve the various economic, political, religious and systematic practices that would serve as obstacles to effective participation of women in politics and governance as well as institutionalized varieties of programmes and politics by the government and other stakeholders that would empower women politically, socially, religiously and economically for greater participation in politics and governance in Nigeria.

  • National Insecurity and Youth Unemployment in Nigeria: the Case of Niger-Delta Region
    British Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences 104 April 2015, Vol. 13 (1) National Insecurity and Youth Unemployment in Nigeria: The Case of Niger-Delta Region Monday Akpakan (Ph.D) Akwa Ibom State Ministry of Education Kia Bariledum (Ph.D) Facilitator National Open University of Nigeria, Port Harcourt Study Centre Nwibor Barika Lucky General Studies Department Rivers State Polytechnic, Bori E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This work examines the relationship between insecurity and Youth unemployment in Nigeria with focus on the Niger-Delta. The study employed survey method and relied mostly on secondary data. The study noted that National Insecurity which is one of the challenges facing the corporate existence and continued peace and stability of Nigeria is cause by youth unemployment based on this, the study suggest amongst others creation of employment opportunities and employment based on merit. Second, provision of social security as unemployment compensation such that the unemployed graduates are paid N30, 000.00 every month for 1st degree holders, ND and NCE N20,000.00 and FSLC and SSCE N10,000.00 monthly. Government should as a matter of urgency employ the ALASKA model in compensating the Niger Deltans as well as Human security where the issue of poverty is eradicated in the country. INTRODUCTION Background of the Study National Insecurity as a concept has suffered prolonged period of neglect by scholars, analysts or even enthusiasts. In as much as the concept of security remains an intellectual paradigm for research and development, the concept of insecurity must equally be accorded the same status. Insecurity just as underdevelopment is the most undesirable side of a coin (which houses both security and insecurity) (Saleh, 2010:3).
