A structural shift is being pushed for in Nigeria's national development agenda. In most cases, the whole economy experiences shifts as a result of structural development. However, addressing the country's security situation seriously is often a prerequisite for structural progress. When security crises like insurgencies, theft, kidnappings, and abductions are treated with a lack of seriousness, transformation and structural growth will come to a halt. This is because, in times of national security crisis, funds that were supposed to be used for these kinds of improvements are frequently redirected to address the crisis. Consequently, this study takes a close look at the obstacles to national development, the costs and consequences of insecurity, and the sources of insecurity in Nigeria. To maintain national progress, the report said that the country should adopt a system of strong and good governance, smart financial management, and a judicial system free of corruption, nepotism, and impunity.
