Nigeria SecurityChallenge, Is It
Financial?
Nigeria is currently under serious security challenge,
insurgents rising from almost every Geo-political zones, each
with their own agitation.
The responsibility of Governments is to protect life and
property of her citizens – at all cost necessary and possible. It
is understandable that this cannot be done effectively without
enough financial will-power. The Government desire to live
true to this responsibility reflects; first, in the Budgetary
allocations to Security Agencies & Departments, second, in
the judicious use of these allocations for their intended cause.
This analysis takes a look at the Federal Government
allocation to Security Agencies & Departments, particularly
between 2005 till date, establish the average cost to secure a
citizen and propose possible alliance between our security
forces in order to achieve the intended outcome of protecting
her citizens.*2014 Data are from the proposed budget

MINISTRY OF POLICE AFFAIRS
The Ministry of Police Affairs is the only Ministry
charged with responsibility of overseeing the affairs
of the Nigeria Police Force and officers and men of
the Police Force.
Department & Agency: Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil Kano
Police Pension Board
The Minister of Police Affairs, Caleb Olubolade disclosed that
the number of serving police officers in the country is 370,000.
However, the Federal Government has planned to recruit
280,000 more to increase the number of security agents to
650,000. 90% of the new recruits will be trained in modern
policing tactics and weapons handling.(Channels Television).
We therefore have 370,000 security officers to 170
Million Nigerians.
370,000 Police Officers to 170,000,000 People
1 Police Officer = 170,000,000
370,000
1 Police Officer to 459 People.
The United Nations recommends a minimum
police strength of 222 per 100,000 people; this
implies1 Police Officer to 450 People.
Bear in mind that there are some individuals
stationed with more than 1 police officers.

the police force to meet current security challenges.

Clearly, most of the allocation
goes to maintenance of Salaries
& Wages and just about 15% is
used for capital Expenditure.
This is lower than the National
Average of 18%.
While the need for more
allocation cannot be over-
emphasized, it is also important
to stress that judicious use of
budgetary allocation should be
a high priority for the
Government.
SUMMARY
In order to maximize the little allocation, there is need for great
collaboration among the Security Agencies & Department; in
terms of “Sharing of Information” so that efforts are not
duplicated across Agencies.
A National Information Centre pseudo National emergency
centre would help create a centralized system where
information can be sourced and managed for all Security
Agencies.
SUMMARY
Again, all of these would amount to NOTHING if the average
man doesn’t have a future either in his Community, State or the
Nation at large. It has been proven that People care more when
they have INTERESTS to protect. Similarly, people become threat
to others when they have less or nothing at stake.
Creating an egalitarian society where each can aspire to any
height possible (within the law) would solve a large percentage
of our security challenges today.
It is easier to fight an enemy because
you don’t expect peace from one.
However, it is more difficult to fight an
enemy in a “brother’s” – for he is
within you but not with you.
Our greatest challenge is not the
enemy WITHOUT, it is the enemy
WITHIN.
