  • An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn't
    Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t Nasir Abubakar Daniya i Radicalisation and Deradicalisation in Nigeria: An Analysis of What Works and What Doesn’t. Nasir Abubakar Daniya Student Number: 13052246 A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of Requirements for award of: Professional Doctorate Degree in Policing Security and Community Safety London Metropolitan University Faculty of Social Science and Humanities March 2021 Thesis word count: 104, 482 ii Abstract Since Nigeria’s independence from Britain in 1960, the country has made some progress while also facing some significant socio-economic challenges. Despite being one of the largest producers of oil in the world, in 2018 and 2019, the Brooking Institution and World Poverty Clock respectively ranked Nigeria amongst top three countries with extreme poverty in the World. Muslims from the north and Christians from the south dominate the country; each part has its peculiar problem. There have been series of agitations by the militants from the south to break the country due to unfair treatments by the Nigerian government. They produced multiple violent groups that killed people and destroyed properties and oil facilities. In the North, an insurgent group called Boko Haram emerges in 2009; they advocated for the establishment of an Islamic state that started with warning that, western education is prohibited. Reports say the group caused death of around 100,000 and displaced over 2 million people. As such, Niger Delta Militancy and Boko Haram Insurgency have been major challenges being faced by Nigeria for about a decade. To address such challenges, the Nigerian government introduced separate counterinsurgency interventions called Presidential Amnesty Program (PAP) and Operation Safe Corridor (OSC) in 2009 and 2016 respectively, which are both aimed at curtailing Militancy and Insurgency respectively.

  • Remarks by His Excellency, the Vice President, Prof
    REMARKS BY HIS EXCELLENCY, THE VICE PRESIDENT, PROF. YEMI OSINBAJO, AT THE AFRICAN ECONOMIC CONFERENCE THEMED “FEED AFRICA: TOWARDS AGRO-ALLIED INDUSTRIALIZATION”, ABUJA ON DEC. 5, 2016 I am delighted to welcome you all to Nigeria for this important African Economic Conference. The theme of your conference: “Feed Africa: Towards Agro-allied Industrialization” is very timely. The global commodity price shocks, with the sharp decline in the price of oil, have had major negative impacts on the economies of several African countries. Nigeria is no exception. Because oil accounts for over 70% of government revenue and over 90% of foreign exchange earnings, shocks to global oil prices have significant effects on the Nigerian economy. But in our peculiar case, the vandalization of oil facilities resulting at some point, the loss of over 1 million barrels of oil per day clearly worsened our situation. As a result Nigeria has witnessed in the last few months a sharp decline in economic growth but we are determined to come out of the oil- price and production shock induced recession. We are working to expand our share of non-oil revenues, expanding the fiscal space, closing leakages, enhancing transparency and accountability in the management of public finances. But these will not be enough. Even if we get growth back on track, we must ensure that growth is inclusive and that it touches the lives of numerous Nigerians in the rural areas who depend on agriculture as a source of their livelihoods. The key part of the solution therefore must be to rapidly raise productivity on agriculture, reduce our dependency on food import and expand foreign exchange earnings from export oriented agricultural products.
