| dc.description.abstract | The paper contends that Africa's security in the 21st century is fundamentally non-military in nature. The repeated failure of African states to construct a stable, legitimate and developmental state has widened and deepened their vulnerability to non-military threats such as environmental degradation and pollution, crippling poverty, pandemic HIV and AIDS, perennial internal conflict, widespread corruption, incessant political instability and a host of others. This failure to transform the illegitimate and anti-developmental state bequeathed to the continent by the colonialists is substantially adduced to bad governance, which has remained the enduring characteristic of most African states. Although Nigeria is still in the throes of democratization, it is reasoned that the huge resources of the country, coupled with her enhanced diplomatic profile on the world scene raises considerable hope in terms of reversing the ugly situation on the continent. Nigeria's democratization project, if successfully executed, could boost her international image and make her a critical continental actor and catalyst for the painstaking reconstruction of African state that is stable, legitimate and developmental, suitable for tackling the preceding challenges of security in Africa. | |
