Opis

This book explores the intricate connections between insecurity, internal displacement, cross-border mobility, governance deficiencies, economic pressures, environmental challenges, and social resilience in Nigeria. It examines how violence, crime, terrorism, and government policy responses shape migration decisions across the country. The study analyzes rural-urban migration, forced displacement, youth mobility, and diaspora movements within both historical and contemporary contexts. Drawing on empirical evidence, policy analysis, and theoretical perspectives, it evaluates state capacity, community adaptation strategies, and the wider regional implications for West Africa. Written for scholars, policymakers, development practitioners, and informed readers, the book offers practical insights and policy-oriented recommendations for strengthening security, improving migration management, and fostering inclusive development in Nigeria's rapidly changing socio-economic environment amid global uncertainties.
