ABSTRACT
The goal of education in modern times is broader than it was in preliterate communities. Education currently influences politics, society, family, and the economy, among other things. Education must evolve in tandem with society, which is continuously changing and evolving. In the Nigerian context, professionals both at home and abroad have voiced great worry about the incoherence or inadequacies of the country’s education system, particularly at the college, polytechnic, and university levels. Youth between the ages of 18 and 30 years are commonly implicated in numerous crimes that contribute to insecurity. This paper applied a theoretical approach to periscope the multi-layered challenges of insecurity in Nigeria, particularly as these challenges impact the Nigerian nation’s educational trajectory with its associated negative consequences for Nigerian youth in particular and the country’s future in general. The paper also examined various literature materials to evaluate the results of previous publications on the topic under review, and thus recommended that government at all levels and stakeholders in Nigeria’s education industry be more retrospective, introspective and proactive on issues of national security in order to arrest the negative drift that is currently affecting Nigeria’s educational projections.
