Abstract
The paper conceived development as a continuum with no static nor predetermined end such that
when the aimed paradigm is attained, it subsequently prompts the need and urge to move further
for the attainment of much better, much higher and more superior level of developmental
achievement so as to get things better and maintain a niche over the existing state of whatever. It
examined the dimensions development within the framework of the UN Sustainable
Development Goals agenda and what it takes to ensure truly national development. In like
manner, national security was viewed beyond securing life and property per se, to encompass all
the perspectives of what it takes to preserve a nation at large. The place of ICT in the scheme of
contemporary global paradigm especially as it relates to national development and security were
highlighted. It concluded that it is natural that no society nor nation will want to be associated
with underdevelopment at all fronts of human endeavour. Thus, for systematic national
development to be achieved, it must be supported by the security and safety of not only life and
property, but should include strategic areas such as: Economy; Education and Literacy; Science
and Technology; Law and Order; Politics and International Relations; Reliable and Sustainable
Water Supply; Sustainable Environment and Energy Supply; Social Welfare and Empowerment;
Culture and Integration; Agriculture and Animal Husbandry; Health and Sanitation; Information
and Communication Technology; Road and Transportation; and Good Governance.
