THE HOME, INSECURITY AND NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
The home is the hallmark of human growth, development and sustainability as it is what signifies that an individual belongs to a household. Conversely, insecurity is a sign that one lacks protection and is therefore, vulnerable to threat or danger. Similarly, national development is an indication that a country has the capacity to elevate the standard of living of its inhabitants. This was the central focus of this study, as it explained how these concepts affect the development of our country, Nigeria. Changing demographics and insecurity problems in Nigeria and other vices such as: hunger, inflation, scarcity of cash and absence of social security system have jointly contributed to the challenges of its inhabitants. The study discussed the problems affecting national development as well as strategies for achieving sustainable development in Nigeria. It also utilized secondary data as sources of information. It concluded that judicious implementation of development strategy, commitment on the side of the leaders and absence of corruption are needed for the achievement of sustainable development in Nigeria.
