Contemporary Security Governance in Nigeria: Themes and Perspectives examines the theory, practice, and challenges of contemporary security governance in Nigeria and argues for the prioritization of security governance in state affairs. Al Chukwuma Okoli, Folahanmi Aina, and the contributors address the role of security in state steering, the role of the state in security, the conceptual and theoretical frames underpinning contemporary discourse on security governance, and the current position of security governance and national security architecture in Nigeria. The book begins with an examination of security governance theory, context, and dimensions; followed by presenting strategies of security governance such as intelligence oversight; and ends with analysis of state, foreign, and non-state actors' roles in security governance. It covers important issues such as state legitimacy, public emergencies, intelligence oversight, civilian-led community policing, and Operation Safe Corridor. This book provides an important contribution for scholars in governance and security, and all stakeholders in governmental and non-governmental organizations that promote national security.

Reviews for Contemporary Security Governance in Nigeria: Themes and Perspectives

Contemporary Security Governance in Nigeria: Themes and Perspectives, edited by Al Chukwuma Okoli and Folahanmi Aina, highlights some of the key governance and security challenges that Nigeria confronts within its complex journey to statehood. The contributors underscore the effect that statehood is a means, rather than an end, as Nigeria comes to terms with both the centripetal and centrifugal forces that puts its existence to the test. This book is an important read for both researchers and policy makers as they seek for practical solutions towards addressing the issues highlighted by the respective chapter authors. I commend the editors for their incisive thoughts and scholarly contribution to the knowledge on this subject matter. --Chris M.A. Kwaja, Modibbo Adama University, Yola, Nigeria
