Abstract

This paper looked at the concept of university education, insecurity, causes of insecurity in Nigeria, and the impact of insecurity on university education in Nigeria. The paper is a position paper that depends on secondary data. The secondary data were sourced from print literature and online literature. Content analysis was employed for the literature screamed in the paper. The paper concluded that insecurity has affected the development of university education in Nigeria. Insecurity has led to the deaths of lecturers, university closures, an unstable academic calendar, and poor implementation of teaching, research, and community services programmes. Based on these findings, the paper hereby recommends the following: the government should urgently address all issues breeding insecurities across the country by exploring different strategies. The government should provide adequate funding to securities agencies to strengthen security operations and management in Nigeria. Universities in the country should be adequately secured, and school defenses should be provided in all the universities.
