This article looks at strategic military intelligence and operational efficiency with emphases on insecurity in Nigeria. Strategic military intelligence was discussed from strategic and operational intelligence and operational efficiency was looked from operational responsiveness and configuration. This article seeks to determine how the strategically military intelligence impact Military operational efficiency in Nigeria. The improper employment and inaccurate designation of tasks to intelligence agencies to support national security objectives has been a major challenge that the study intends to address. In the same vein, the lack of analytical skills among personnel has denigrates the value of intelligence produce to solve security operation. The descriptive research was used to analyze the data that was gathered. The respondents were selected through purposive sampling. A survey questionnaire was used to gather data which were derived from the objectives and rationale for the study. Data for the study was analyzed via analysis of variance ANOVA .The result of the analysis shows that strategic military intelligence impact operational responsiveness and configuration in Nigeria. The study concludes that military strategic intelligence impacts operational efficiency in Nigeria. And that the level or methods adopted by the Nigeria military to respond to the threat of insecurity in all the different parts of the country will not only determine the extents at which the country will succeed but will also show how committed the Nigeria Military are working toward protecting lives and properties of Nigerian. The study recommend that the federal government of Nigeria should create or set up a special unit or agency different from the military Army, Navy and Air force and the intelligent units Department of State Service DSS also known as SSS or Defense Intelligence Agency DIA etc. that will be saddled with the responsibility of ensuring that the Intel gathered by the intelligent units and handed to the Military for some special operations are sustained and applied with high level of professionalism. As this will ensure that personnel with clandestine motives are not only checked but are punished for such an action.

The Role of Military Logistics Supports in Safeguarding National Security in ...ijtsrd
Traditionally, security is conceptualized within the context of the ability and capacity of the government to ensure the protection of their countries from internal insurrection or external aggression of any kind through adequate preparedness of the military to ensure intelligence gathering, secrecy and the protection of resources and rights considered critical to the existence of states. In this vein, the study examines the extent to which logistics supports from the Nigerian government to the Nigerian Armed Forces impacts the national security of the nation. The study delves to analyze the violent insurgencies and insecurity issues in the Niger Delta and the Boko Haram terrorism in the northeast, and how they have undermined Nigeria's national security. The paper adopts the Structural Functional theory to analyze the issues that facilitate the persistence of the insurgent groups in Nigeria. The study argues that in fighting insecurity in Nigeria the military personnel do not receive the needed logistics support promptly. Likewise, the paper highlights that the phenomenon of ethnicity and religious intolerance have led to incessant recurrence of ethnoreligious conflicts, which have claimed the lives of thousands of Nigerians, and birthed copious ethnic militias like the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra MASSOB , Boko Haram, and Niger Delta Avengers NDA , amongst others. The study, therefore, recommends that the Federal government should monitor the funds allocated to the defence sector and ensure proper accountability of such funds and that the government should facilitate the local production of arms by the Ministry of Defence this could be done through the government's proper funding and supervision of the activities of DICON, so as to boost the domestic production of arms and ammunition for use by the military and other related agencies all encapsulated within the Nigerian defence sector.

Government expenditure on defence and internal security has been on the increase in the last few decades making it vital to look at its effect on the growth and development of the economy. The study examined the Government expenditure on defence and internal security a prerequisite for achieving sustainable economic growth and development in Nigeria. The study used time series data, from 1994 2020. The issue of security has become a serious threat to sustainable development in any economy and it has become a great concern in view of its escalating trend. The objective of the study is to determine the effect of government expenditure on defence and internal security on economic growth and development in Nigeria. The data employed were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria publications and World Bank World Development Indicators WDI . The study was anchored on progressive theory of public expenditure. The dependent variables for the study are economic growth proxy by real gross domestic product RGDP and economic development proxy by Human development index HDI while the independent variables are recurrent government expenditure on defence and internal security. The data were analyzed using Vector Autoregressive Estimates VAR to ascertain the effect of government recurrent expenditure on defence and internal security on economic growth and development at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the impact of government recurrent expenditure on defence and internal security on RGDP and HDI is insignificant within the period under review. Therefore, the study recommends that government should invest more on defence and security and also design a device to ensure all the expenditures on Security and defence are considered guardedly as to consolidate on the gains realized so far.

This document summarizes a study that examined emerging trends in private security companies (PSCs) and security services in Southwest Nigeria. It investigated the establishment and justification of PSCs, government regulations of PSCs, and the relationship between PSCs and public security forces. The study found that while security is the government's responsibility, the government has failed to effectively provide security. Unemployment and systemic failures have contributed to rising security threats. PSCs have emerged to fill security gaps left by understaffed and inefficient public security forces. The study concludes that PSCs can complement government efforts in protecting citizens, but regulations are needed to ensure effective security provision.
Prognosis of Theories of Intelligence in Counter Terrorism The Case of the No...YogeshIJTSRD
The Northern West part of Nigeria is faced with several security challenges that have threatened the existence of peace and security in the region. These threats to public safety and regional security have greatly undermined the governments primary responsibility of guaranteeing public safety and national security. This work, therefore, is on the prognosis of theories of intelligence in counterterrorism The case of North Western Nigeria. The study utilised primary and secondary data sources. The Primary data sources were from questionnaires administered physically and electronically via emails while, secondary data came from published books, journals, articles, lecture guides and videos. Acquired data were statistically analysed using simple percentage and Chi Square statistics. Sequel to the statistical results, findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between intelligence gathering and terrorism in Nort West, Nigeria. The study recommends that there should be training and retraining of personnel of the intelligence community to be able to meet up with the current trends and changes in the contemporary Nigerian environments for the effective gathering of intelligence and the ability to utilize it for productive law enforcement.

Approximating the operational and intelligence vulnerability of the nigerian ...Alexander Decker
The document discusses the operational and intelligence vulnerabilities of the Nigerian Police Force in combating terrorism from 1999 to 2010. It argues that the police force has not been able to effectively guarantee security in Nigeria due to major institutional, operational, and intelligence limitations. Specifically, the failure to implement an arms tracking system to register and monitor legal weapons has hindered the ability to identify the source of many illegal arms used by terrorist groups in Nigeria.
This study interrogates the place of leadership and strategic communication in the actualization of overall national security in Nigeria. These tools of communication have been used to both incite violence as well as carry messages that help prevent violent conflict, and promote peace and reconciliation and Nigerian military is not exceptional. For instance, countering the Boko Haram insurgency was psychological operations. The Army was more successful in using this approach when Boko Haram’s use of violence was at its peak. Details for this are not hard to decipher, though they have never publicly explained why they engaged in psychological operations nor have they even admitted using them. There was a collective fear then, even among journalists and media establishments, some of whom were victims of Boko Haram’s attacks. The support the security services received from the media might have come from the need to address this for lasting solution in the nearest future. Due to government negligence on strategic communicate for national security, these gaps have unavoidably resulted in the resilience and devastating consequences in the state. Therefore, there is need for leaders to integrate a new culture of communication among agencies which can leads to greater efficiency in information and intelligence sharing under the established Strategic Communication Inter – Agency Policy Coordination Committee in overseeing strategic communication for national security.
An Assessment of Government Policies in Curbing Arms Proliferation in Nigeria...ijtsrd
The proliferation of small arms and light weapons in Nigeria has been a major security concern over the last few decades. The availability and misuse of these weapons has contributed to increased violence and insecurity, especially in the northern, southeastern and Niger Delta parts of the country. The Nigerian government has taken several measures to address the problem, including initiatives to strengthen the legal framework, improve the regulation of arms transfers, amnesty programs and increase public awareness of the issue. Despite the adoption of several strategies, the country is still facing the menace of arms proliferation, which has resulted in a series of security challenges, especially in the northeast, middle belt and other flash points of Nigeria. To this end, this study was undertaken to assess government policies on arms proliferation in Nigeria. The theoretical framework underpinning the menace of arms proliferation and its concomitant insecurity challenges is stability””security theory. The study adopted a qualitative design, and the secondary data collected were thoroughly subjected to content analysis. The study revealed that the government has adopted several policies to curb the proliferation of arms in Nigeria, including NCSALW and the Firearms Act of 2018. Amnesty program, cash for arms surrender and the use of armed forces to support the police for mop up of arms. Despite these strategies, there are some challenges, such as a lack of adequate resources and capacity to monitor the proliferation of arms, vast territory, a large population and high level of unemployment and its consequences of high level of criminality which make it difficult to effectively track the movements of arms and their sources of supply. To address the issue of arms proliferation in Nigeria, the government should focus on creating a secure environment by providing stability and security for its citizens. This can be done by tackling corruption, creating employment, increasing economic equality, justice, addressing age long issues of marginalization and adequate funding for police and other security services.

Macroeconomic uncertainty and foreign portfolio investment volatility evidenc...Alexander Decker
This document examines the relationship between macroeconomic uncertainty and foreign portfolio investment (FPI) volatility in Nigeria from 1986-2011. It finds that macroeconomic variables like interest rates, inflation rates, market capitalization rates, exchange rates, and GDP, as well as FPI, are all highly volatile and respond asymmetrically to new information. A stable macroeconomic environment is necessary for steady FPI inflows, while steady FPI inflows also contribute to some level of macroeconomic stability. The study recommends monitoring insider activities in the capital market and balancing economic growth policies with price stability policies.

This document discusses how data mining can be used as an active solution for crime investigation in Nigeria. It suggests that law enforcement agencies could analyze large volumes of data using data mining techniques to detect patterns related to criminal activities and predict future crime trends. Specifically, data mining algorithms could be used to cluster populations sizes to impute missing values, cluster changes in crime rates between years to forecast future trends, and detect deceptive identities by criminals through comparing identity fields across criminal records. The goal is to help security agencies prevent, arrest, and investigate crimes like terrorism more effectively.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY OF BANGLADESHijcisjournal
Technology is an endless evolving expression in modern era, which increased security concerns and pushed
us to create cyber environment. A National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS) of a country reflects the state of
that country’s cyber strength which represents the aim and vision of the cyber security of a country.
Formerly, researchers have worked on NCSS by comparing NCSS between different nations for
international collaboration and harmonization and some researchers worked on policy framework for their
respective governments. However very insignificant attempts had been made to assess the strategic strength
of NCSS of Bangladesh by performing cross comparisons on NCSS of different Nations. Therefore, the
motive of this research is to evaluate the robustness of the existing cyber security strategy of Bangladesh in
comparison with some of the most technologically advanced countries in Asian continent and others like
USA, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and India in order to keep the NCSS of Bangladesh up-to-date.

and thus achieve a better fit and forecast.
Information Gathering in Intelligence AgenciesNora A. Rahim
Information gathering and sharing between agencies is critical for preventing threats like terrorism, yet involvement of classified information makes studying the relationship between information science and intelligence work difficult. The document discusses the differences between information and intelligence, the intelligence cycle of collecting, analyzing and using information to produce finished intelligence for policymakers, and various types of intelligence including current, estimative, warning, research, and scientific/technical intelligence. It concludes by recommending better information retrieval and an understanding of information science to provide timely intelligence while reducing pressure on analysts.
Effect of Investor Sentiment on Future Returns in the Nigerian Stock Marketijtsrd
Study investigated the effect of investor sentiment on future returns in the Nigerian stock market for a period covering first quarter of 2008 to fourth quarter of 2015.The OLS regression and granger causality techniques were employed for data analyses. The results showed that (1) investor sentiment has a significant positive effect on stock market returns even after control for fundamentals such as Industrial production index, consumer price index and Treasury bill rate; (2) there is a uni-directional causality that runs from change in investor sentiment (?CCI) to stock market returns (Rm). Derived finding showed that the inclusion of fundamentals increased the explanatory power of investor sentiment from 3.96% to 33.05%, though at both level, investor sentiment (?CCI) has low explanatory power on stock market returns. The study posits existence of a dynamic relationship between investor sentiment and the behaviour of stock future returns in Nigeria such that higher sentiment concurrently leads to higher stock prices.

Evidence on the Dynamic Relationship between Stock Market All Share Index and...iosrjce
This study examines the dynamic relationship between Stock Market All Share Index and Gross Fixed
Capital Formation in Nigeria. Annual data on market capitalization, value of shares traded, all share index,
average prime lending rate, inflation rate, national savings and gross fixed capital formation at current
purchaser’s value from 1980 to 2012 were sourced from the statistical bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria
and the Nigerian Stock Exchange Fact Book various issues. The ordinary least square (OLS) regression
technique was employed in the data analysis and the error correction mechanism (ECM) was used to study the
short-run dynamics as well as long-run relationship between the stock market and gross fixed capital formation
in Nigeria. The result revealed that all share index of the Nigerian stock market has significant effect on gross
fixed capital formation. It further shows that though the capital market has the potential of influencing gross
fixed capital formation its’ effect has not been fully realized due to illiquidity and low level of development of
the Nigerian capital market. It is recommended that appropriate policy measures been taken to deepen the
market and strengthen the structure of the market to ensure that long term funds are used to finance long-term
investments.
Apprenticeship and Entrepreneurship Development among Igbo Traders in Nigeriaijtsrd
The soaring poverty and unemployment rate in Nigeria orchestrated by rising business mortality has engendered the awakened interest for empirical investigation into apprenticeship and entrepreneurship development in Nigeria. The study sought to determine the extent to which start up capital, business skill, tenure of apprenticeship, mentorship and business tolerance has influence survival rate among Igbo traders. The questionnaire was used for collection of data on a sample of 348 respondents drawn from two major markets in southeast Nigeria using multi staged sampling technique. Data collected were analyzed using t test statistics and the linear regression model. Findings revealed that start up capital, business skills, tenure of apprenticeship, mentoring, business tolerance and financial discipline has a direct and positive relationship with survival rate among Igbo traders in South East, Nigeria. However, from the hypothesis tested, it was revealed that all the variable construct start up capital, mentoring, business skills, tenure of apprenticeship and business tolerance have significant influence on the survival rate among Igbo traders in South East, Nigeria. Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made To ensure that start up capital are dully provided to apprentice, parents and representative of the apprentice should ensure a legally documented agreement between the master and the apprentice. Parents and representatives of the apprentice should advise their ward on the need to be patient and diligent to carefully learn the business skills from the master because this is the basis for apprenticeship. Parents and representatives of the apprentice should advise their ward to ensure that they complete their apprenticeship. This is important as tenure of apprenticeship is imperative for developing the needed business skills for entrepreneurship development. Masters should endeavour to mentor their apprentice because through mentoring they can build very strong business synergy in the long run. The apprentice should remain steadfast and focused in learning the trade. This will help him develop the needed resilience and tolerance for entrepreneurship development.

The Role of Military Logistics Supports in Safeguarding National Security in ...ijtsrd
Traditionally, security is conceptualized within the context of the ability and capacity of the government to ensure the protection of their countries from internal insurrection or external aggression of any kind through adequate preparedness of the military to ensure intelligence gathering, secrecy and the protection of resources and rights considered critical to the existence of states. In this vein, the study examines the extent to which logistics supports from the Nigerian government to the Nigerian Armed Forces impacts the national security of the nation. The study delves to analyze the violent insurgencies and insecurity issues in the Niger Delta and the Boko Haram terrorism in the northeast, and how they have undermined Nigeria's national security. The paper adopts the Structural Functional theory to analyze the issues that facilitate the persistence of the insurgent groups in Nigeria. The study argues that in fighting insecurity in Nigeria the military personnel do not receive the needed logistics support promptly. Likewise, the paper highlights that the phenomenon of ethnicity and religious intolerance have led to incessant recurrence of ethnoreligious conflicts, which have claimed the lives of thousands of Nigerians, and birthed copious ethnic militias like the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra MASSOB , Boko Haram, and Niger Delta Avengers NDA , amongst others. The study, therefore, recommends that the Federal government should monitor the funds allocated to the defence sector and ensure proper accountability of such funds and that the government should facilitate the local production of arms by the Ministry of Defence this could be done through the government's proper funding and supervision of the activities of DICON, so as to boost the domestic production of arms and ammunition for use by the military and other related agencies all encapsulated within the Nigerian defence sector.

Government expenditure on defence and internal security has been on the increase in the last few decades making it vital to look at its effect on the growth and development of the economy. The study examined the Government expenditure on defence and internal security a prerequisite for achieving sustainable economic growth and development in Nigeria. The study used time series data, from 1994 2020. The issue of security has become a serious threat to sustainable development in any economy and it has become a great concern in view of its escalating trend. The objective of the study is to determine the effect of government expenditure on defence and internal security on economic growth and development in Nigeria. The data employed were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria publications and World Bank World Development Indicators WDI . The study was anchored on progressive theory of public expenditure. The dependent variables for the study are economic growth proxy by real gross domestic product RGDP and economic development proxy by Human development index HDI while the independent variables are recurrent government expenditure on defence and internal security. The data were analyzed using Vector Autoregressive Estimates VAR to ascertain the effect of government recurrent expenditure on defence and internal security on economic growth and development at 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that the impact of government recurrent expenditure on defence and internal security on RGDP and HDI is insignificant within the period under review. Therefore, the study recommends that government should invest more on defence and security and also design a device to ensure all the expenditures on Security and defence are considered guardedly as to consolidate on the gains realized so far.

This document summarizes a study that examined emerging trends in private security companies (PSCs) and security services in Southwest Nigeria. It investigated the establishment and justification of PSCs, government regulations of PSCs, and the relationship between PSCs and public security forces. The study found that while security is the government's responsibility, the government has failed to effectively provide security. Unemployment and systemic failures have contributed to rising security threats. PSCs have emerged to fill security gaps left by understaffed and inefficient public security forces. The study concludes that PSCs can complement government efforts in protecting citizens, but regulations are needed to ensure effective security provision.

Approximating the operational and intelligence vulnerability of the nigerian ...Alexander Decker
The document discusses the operational and intelligence vulnerabilities of the Nigerian Police Force in combating terrorism from 1999 to 2010. It argues that the police force has not been able to effectively guarantee security in Nigeria due to major institutional, operational, and intelligence limitations. Specifically, the failure to implement an arms tracking system to register and monitor legal weapons has hindered the ability to identify the source of many illegal arms used by terrorist groups in Nigeria.
This study interrogates the place of leadership and strategic communication in the actualization of overall national security in Nigeria. These tools of communication have been used to both incite violence as well as carry messages that help prevent violent conflict, and promote peace and reconciliation and Nigerian military is not exceptional. For instance, countering the Boko Haram insurgency was psychological operations. The Army was more successful in using this approach when Boko Haram’s use of violence was at its peak. Details for this are not hard to decipher, though they have never publicly explained why they engaged in psychological operations nor have they even admitted using them. There was a collective fear then, even among journalists and media establishments, some of whom were victims of Boko Haram’s attacks. The support the security services received from the media might have come from the need to address this for lasting solution in the nearest future. Due to government negligence on strategic communicate for national security, these gaps have unavoidably resulted in the resilience and devastating consequences in the state. Therefore, there is need for leaders to integrate a new culture of communication among agencies which can leads to greater efficiency in information and intelligence sharing under the established Strategic Communication Inter – Agency Policy Coordination Committee in overseeing strategic communication for national security.
An Assessment of Government Policies in Curbing Arms Proliferation in Nigeria...ijtsrd
The proliferation of small arms and light weapons in Nigeria has been a major security concern over the last few decades. The availability and misuse of these weapons has contributed to increased violence and insecurity, especially in the northern, southeastern and Niger Delta parts of the country. The Nigerian government has taken several measures to address the problem, including initiatives to strengthen the legal framework, improve the regulation of arms transfers, amnesty programs and increase public awareness of the issue. Despite the adoption of several strategies, the country is still facing the menace of arms proliferation, which has resulted in a series of security challenges, especially in the northeast, middle belt and other flash points of Nigeria. To this end, this study was undertaken to assess government policies on arms proliferation in Nigeria. The theoretical framework underpinning the menace of arms proliferation and its concomitant insecurity challenges is stability””security theory. The study adopted a qualitative design, and the secondary data collected were thoroughly subjected to content analysis. The study revealed that the government has adopted several policies to curb the proliferation of arms in Nigeria, including NCSALW and the Firearms Act of 2018. Amnesty program, cash for arms surrender and the use of armed forces to support the police for mop up of arms. Despite these strategies, there are some challenges, such as a lack of adequate resources and capacity to monitor the proliferation of arms, vast territory, a large population and high level of unemployment and its consequences of high level of criminality which make it difficult to effectively track the movements of arms and their sources of supply. To address the issue of arms proliferation in Nigeria, the government should focus on creating a secure environment by providing stability and security for its citizens. This can be done by tackling corruption, creating employment, increasing economic equality, justice, addressing age long issues of marginalization and adequate funding for police and other security services.

Macroeconomic uncertainty and foreign portfolio investment volatility evidenc...Alexander Decker
This document examines the relationship between macroeconomic uncertainty and foreign portfolio investment (FPI) volatility in Nigeria from 1986-2011. It finds that macroeconomic variables like interest rates, inflation rates, market capitalization rates, exchange rates, and GDP, as well as FPI, are all highly volatile and respond asymmetrically to new information. A stable macroeconomic environment is necessary for steady FPI inflows, while steady FPI inflows also contribute to some level of macroeconomic stability. The study recommends monitoring insider activities in the capital market and balancing economic growth policies with price stability policies.

This document discusses how data mining can be used as an active solution for crime investigation in Nigeria. It suggests that law enforcement agencies could analyze large volumes of data using data mining techniques to detect patterns related to criminal activities and predict future crime trends. Specifically, data mining algorithms could be used to cluster populations sizes to impute missing values, cluster changes in crime rates between years to forecast future trends, and detect deceptive identities by criminals through comparing identity fields across criminal records. The goal is to help security agencies prevent, arrest, and investigate crimes like terrorism more effectively.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CYBER SECURITY STRATEGY OF BANGLADESHijcisjournal
Technology is an endless evolving expression in modern era, which increased security concerns and pushed
us to create cyber environment. A National Cyber Security Strategy (NCSS) of a country reflects the state of
that country’s cyber strength which represents the aim and vision of the cyber security of a country.
Formerly, researchers have worked on NCSS by comparing NCSS between different nations for
international collaboration and harmonization and some researchers worked on policy framework for their
respective governments. However very insignificant attempts had been made to assess the strategic strength
of NCSS of Bangladesh by performing cross comparisons on NCSS of different Nations. Therefore, the
motive of this research is to evaluate the robustness of the existing cyber security strategy of Bangladesh in
comparison with some of the most technologically advanced countries in Asian continent and others like
USA, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and India in order to keep the NCSS of Bangladesh up-to-date.

Effect of Investor Sentiment on Future Returns in the Nigerian Stock Marketijtsrd
Study investigated the effect of investor sentiment on future returns in the Nigerian stock market for a period covering first quarter of 2008 to fourth quarter of 2015.The OLS regression and granger causality techniques were employed for data analyses. The results showed that (1) investor sentiment has a significant positive effect on stock market returns even after control for fundamentals such as Industrial production index, consumer price index and Treasury bill rate; (2) there is a uni-directional causality that runs from change in investor sentiment (?CCI) to stock market returns (Rm). Derived finding showed that the inclusion of fundamentals increased the explanatory power of investor sentiment from 3.96% to 33.05%, though at both level, investor sentiment (?CCI) has low explanatory power on stock market returns. The study posits existence of a dynamic relationship between investor sentiment and the behaviour of stock future returns in Nigeria such that higher sentiment concurrently leads to higher stock prices.

This study examines the dynamic relationship between Stock Market All Share Index and Gross Fixed
Capital Formation in Nigeria. Annual data on market capitalization, value of shares traded, all share index,
average prime lending rate, inflation rate, national savings and gross fixed capital formation at current
purchaser’s value from 1980 to 2012 were sourced from the statistical bulletin of the Central Bank of Nigeria

technique was employed in the data analysis and the error correction mechanism (ECM) was used to study the
short-run dynamics as well as long-run relationship between the stock market and gross fixed capital formation
in Nigeria. The result revealed that all share index of the Nigerian stock market has significant effect on gross
fixed capital formation. It further shows that though the capital market has the potential of influencing gross
fixed capital formation its’ effect has not been fully realized due to illiquidity and low level of development of
the Nigerian capital market. It is recommended that appropriate policy measures been taken to deepen the
market and strengthen the structure of the market to ensure that long term funds are used to finance long-term
investments.
Apprenticeship and Entrepreneurship Development among Igbo Traders in Nigeriaijtsrd
The soaring poverty and unemployment rate in Nigeria orchestrated by rising business mortality has engendered the awakened interest for empirical investigation into apprenticeship and entrepreneurship development in Nigeria. The study sought to determine the extent to which start up capital, business skill, tenure of apprenticeship, mentorship and business tolerance has influence survival rate among Igbo traders. The questionnaire was used for collection of data on a sample of 348 respondents drawn from two major markets in southeast Nigeria using multi staged sampling technique. Data collected were analyzed using t test statistics and the linear regression model. Findings revealed that start up capital, business skills, tenure of apprenticeship, mentoring, business tolerance and financial discipline has a direct and positive relationship with survival rate among Igbo traders in South East, Nigeria. However, from the hypothesis tested, it was revealed that all the variable construct start up capital, mentoring, business skills, tenure of apprenticeship and business tolerance have significant influence on the survival rate among Igbo traders in South East, Nigeria. Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made To ensure that start up capital are dully provided to apprentice, parents and representative of the apprentice should ensure a legally documented agreement between the master and the apprentice. Parents and representatives of the apprentice should advise their ward on the need to be patient and diligent to carefully learn the business skills from the master because this is the basis for apprenticeship. Parents and representatives of the apprentice should advise their ward to ensure that they complete their apprenticeship. This is important as tenure of apprenticeship is imperative for developing the needed business skills for entrepreneurship development. Masters should endeavour to mentor their apprentice because through mentoring they can build very strong business synergy in the long run. The apprentice should remain steadfast and focused in learning the trade. This will help him develop the needed resilience and tolerance for entrepreneurship development.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players.

Comparative Analysis of Total Corporate Disclosure of Selected IT Companies o...ijtsrd
Disclosure is a process through which a business enterprise communicates with external parties. A corporate disclosure is communication of financial and non financial information of the activities of a business enterprise to the interested entities. Corporate disclosure is done through publishing annual reports. So corporate disclosure through annual reports plays a vital role in the life of all the companies and provides valuable information to investors. The basic objectives of corporate disclosure is to give a true and fair view of companies to the parties related either directly or indirectly like owner, government, creditors, shareholders etc. in the companies act, provisions have been made about mandatory and voluntary disclosure. The IT sector in India is rapidly growing, the trend to invest in the IT sector is rising and employment opportunities in IT sectors are also increasing. Therefore the IT sector is expected to have fair, full and adequate disclosure of all information. Unfair and incomplete disclosure may adversely affect the entire economy. A research study on disclosure practices of IT companies could play an important role in this regard. Hence, the present research study has been done to study and review comparative analysis of total corporate disclosure of selected IT companies of India and to put forward overall findings and suggestions with a view to increase disclosure score of these companies. The researcher hopes that the present research study will be helpful to all selected Companies for improving level of corporate disclosure through annual reports as well as the government, creditors, investors, all business organizations and upcoming researcher for comparative analyses of level of corporate disclosure with special reference to selected IT companies.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu. This has helped strengthen teachers’ classroom practices in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. With the results confirming each other, the study recommends that mentoring should focus on helping teachers employ social interactions and instructional practices feedback and clarity in teaching that have direct measurable impact on students’ learning achievements.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

coexistence among the various segment of such a
nation. Warfare
Nigeria as a nation state has it military unit and has
witnessed unprecedented series of agitations in the
forms of kidnapping and abduction, armed robberies,
bombing, and carnages of all forms and magnitude in
the past decade and a half. The most dastard so far is
the activities of a group of some Islamic militants that
called themselves the ‘Boko Haram’ in the North,
Eastern security network (ESN) in the East, Fulani
heads men in all section of the country, theOduduwa
people with their agitation in the west and the Niger
Delta Militia although some worth peaceful now but
their existence cannot be denied. This groups a part
from the frequency and intensity of deadly attacks
and carnages the give to individual person, insecurity
situation in Nigeria cuts across cities, towns and
villages that there is hardly anywhere to run to for
cover.
As result of all the above insecurity situations from
the different segments of the country, the Nigeria
military is now stretch to the extent that some
segment of the nation on a daily bases seeks help
solely from God. As such, the desire to have a
strategic military intelligence unit that could better
the operational efficiency of Nigeria by reducing the
level of insecurity becomes paramount. Today,
nations have at their disposal information collection
and processing systems that permit gathering and
production of intelligence more rapidly and more
accurately than ever before. Satellites, ultramodern
aircraft, electronic systems, human sources, cameras,
imaging and electronic devices, and a host of other
systems permit the amassing of information on a scale
that was unheard of in the past to help handle
operational efficiency of the military (Watson, 2012).
Operational efficiency has been one of the most
discussed issues both in the organizational level, state
and national level. The need to develop and maintain
a sustainable security advantage among nations of the
world is at the foundation of operations strategy of
any nation, which draws on a number of intertwined
yet distinct elements, including leadership
capabilities, practices, and resources (Agbeche,
Lawrence &Elechi, 2021). Operational efficiency or
capabilities are the “secret ingredients” in explaining
the development and maintenance of national
security, economic growth and development.
However, they are often overlooked because they are
tightly embedded in the national fabric of Nigeria
operations system. As decision makers’ attention
tends to be drawn to more obvious assets, such as
resources and operational practices. at the expense of
national security. In addition, there is confusion
regarding what an operational efficiency is and what
differentiates operational efficiencies from resources
or practices efficiency, because they are closely
related. Consequently, much of the impacts of
operational efficiencies are often attributed to
resources or operational practices. The focal point of
this study is on strategic military intelligence and
operational efficiency: a study of insecurity in
Nigeria. The focus of the study is on the Military
(Army, Navy and Air force).
To gather intelligence, the Federal Government has a
variety of agencies such as the Department of State
Service (DSS) also known as SSS. Others are;
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the National
Intelligence Community (IC). These agencies have
over time developed capacities to produce timely and
accurate intelligence to confront issues that threaten
national security. However, the improper employment
and inaccurate designation of tasks for these
intelligence agencies to support national security
objectives has been a major challenge. In the same
vein, the views of operatives that strategic military
intelligence management in Nigeria is fraught with
lack of analytical skills, and questionable real time
intelligence which denigrates the value of intelligence
product on security operations efficiency is yet
another challenge.
These contending issues have therefore thrown up
renewed interest in the analysis of intelligence
support to security operations efficiency in Nigeria in
recent years. This study therefore seeks to provide
answers to such questions as to what extent has the
strategic level of military intelligence support security
operations efficiency in Nigeria? How effective is this
support? What are the intelligence lapses in security
operations efficiency in Nigeria? What can be done to
cover these lapses? Answers to these questions will
provide useful insights into the management of
strategic military intelligence support to security
operations efficiency in Nigeria. The study chooses
the military or armed forces, as a research locale
because the researcher believes they are the major
players on security issues in Nigeria. Furthermore,
results from this study can be beneficial to Nigeria as
a whole in solving the continuous insecurity issue in
the country. It will also serve as cornerstone for cross-
referencing the business for future researchers. The
study hypotheses are:
Ho1: There is no significant relationship between
strategic military intelligence and operational
responsiveness to insecurity in Nigeria.
Ho2: There is no significant relationship between
strategic military intelligence and operational
configuration to insecurity in Nigeria.

2. Literature Review
2.1. Theoretical Foundation
In search of theories of strategic military intelligence
and operational efficiency, this study looks at
organizational learning theory. The organizational
learning theory maintain that to remain viable in an
environment characterized by uncertainty and change,
organizations and individuals alike depend upon an
ability to learn. As yesterday’s knowledge and skills
are vulnerable to obsolescence, and future success
requires flexibility, responsiveness and new
capabilities. Yet psychological, organizational factors
conspire to make organizations and its members resist
change and miss opportunities that would have help
to create preferred futures for the organization. This
theory support the fact that Nigeria military can be
liken to organization that needs to looked back at its
strategies and adopt modern practice that can help
check the menace associated with insecurity.
2.2. Operational Efficiency
The importance of efficiency in the military has
continued to grow with increase in insecurity in
today’s society. People leave with diverse range of
fear that make their lives complex and confused. The
military service as such must retain efficient
personnel to achieve positive satisfaction in its
operations nation-wide (Ghimire, 2012). Operational
efficiency according to Apruebo (2010) occurs when
appropriate and right people, processes, and
technology are combined together to deliver products
or services to its citizenry by organizing the core
processes in response to the changes in the society.
Security operations are all the activities, procedures,
actions taken or involved in the protection of lives
and properties and provision of a peaceful and stable
environment for the daily conduct of lawful activities
by individuals and groups within the community
(Adebayo, 2008). Operational efficiency was looked
from operational responsiveness, and operational
reconfiguration
Operational responsiveness
Zhang, Vonderembse, & Lim, (2003) operational
responsiveness refers to the quality of a Nigeria
military Intel in being able to provide solution quickly
to achieve the desired outcome for national
development. It also indicates military ability to
respond to changing conditions and citizenry
interactions as theyoccur. Operational responsiveness
focuses on using existing operations resources to deal
with change. Operational responsiveness is the
differentiated skills, processes, and routines for
reacting quickly and easily to changes in input and
output requirements, so that a process can
consistently meet customer requirements with little
time or cost penalty (Zhang, Vonderembse, & Lim,
2003). This capability is closely related to
technological and production expertise in the current
operations system which lay the foundation for
flexibility in performance (Zhang, Vonderembse, &
Lim, 2003).
Operational reconfiguration
Operational reconfiguration in the military focuses on
how military reshapes (investing and divesting) its
operations resources to catch up with environmental
changes. Operational reconfiguration is based on the
concept of dynamic capabilities. Teece(2007)
dynamic capability is the capability of the military as
an organization to purposefully adapt to an
organization's resource base (Teece 2007).
Operational reconfiguration refers to differentiated
sets of skills, processes, and routines for
accomplishing the necessary transformation to re-
establish fit between operations strategy and the
Nigeria environment; in terms of the people, process
and the general co-existence of the society; when
their equilibrium has been disturbed, which is
valuable when the military as an organization is faced
with a rapidly changing external environment (Teece
2007).
2.3. Strategic Military Intelligence
Intelligence is relative rather than absolute term used
to describe the process of gathering, analyzing and
making use of information (Jackson et al, 2004).
Intelligence has many meanings and it is in the
context in which the term is used that it can be
understood. However, intelligence in this study is
focused on issues related to national security such as
defense and internal security. Lowenthal(2000)
intelligence refers to information that meets the
stated, understood needs of policy makers and has
been collected, refined and narrowed to meet those
needs. Nations require intelligence about their
immediate environment and that of other nations.
This is necessary because, in order to preserve their
security, they need to keep track of internal and
external threats (Lowenthal, 2000). Consequently,
nations require certain instruments to contain these
threats. Nations adopt strategies and policies such as
defense and security policies to enable them to
respond appropriately and safeguard them from both
external and internal threats (Enahoro, 2010).
Intelligence, in military, refers to information
concerning an enemy or an area (Watson, 2012).
Intelligence is conducted at two levels, strategic and
tactical. Strategic intelligence is information that is
needed to formulate policy and military plans at the
international and national policy levels. Tactical
intelligence is intended primarily to respond to the

needs of military field commanders so they can plan
for and, if necessary, conduct combat operations.
Essentially, tactical intelligence and strategic
intelligence differ only in scope, point of view, and
level of employment. as such most scholars tend to
see them as intertwined.
Whether tactical or strategic, military intelligence
attempts to respond to or satisfy the needs of the
operational leader, the person who has to act or react
to a given set of circumstances (Watson, 2012). The
process of strategic and tactical intelligence begins
when the commander determines what information is
needed to act responsibly. On the national level they
are usually called the essential elements of
information and are defined as those items of
intelligence information about a foreign power, armed
force, target, or physical environment that are
absolutely vital for timely and accurate decision
making ( Watson, 2012). Watson, (2012) on the
tactical level intelligence needs are defined in a
similar manner as the strategic intelligence level;
often called information requirements, they are those
items of information concerning the enemy and his
environment that must be collected and processed in
order to meet the intelligence needs of the military
commander.
2.4. Strategic Military Intelligence and
Operational Efficiency
According to Ngboawaji Daniel Nte(2013) in his
study on an analysis of intelligence support to
security operations in Nigeria: a review of some joint
task force operations. Nigeria’s bid to grapple with
the problem of threats to her internal security as a
result of the pervasive state of insecurity in some
parts of the country has thrown up interesting
challenges for the intelligence community in the
country. This study was necessitated by the
contending issues of lack of real time intelligence and
lack of analytical skill associated with intelligence
gathering and management. The study adopted the
quantitative and analytical methods of analyzing data
from primary and secondary sources. The study
revealed that intelligence gathering and management
has not been able to effectively support the conduct of
security operation in Nigeria. This is because the
impact of intelligence has not been significant for
many reasons.
From the study, it is clear that the intelligence
community lacked the requisite technological
platform to effectively support the conduct of security
operations. The research identified some challenges
which include; lack of funding, lack of real time
intelligence, lack of analytical skill, lack of ICT
facilities and absence of technical collection means.
To mitigate these challenges, strategies proffered
include the need to ensure that the intelligence
gathering and management enterprise in Nigeria
should be able to provide real time intelligence;
provide the needed analytical skills; get the necessary
ICT facilities and adequate funding to acquire other
technical collection systems to effectively support
operations in the country.
Eugeneji (2016) in his study on rethinking Nigeria’s
counter-terrorism strategy. The study claim that the
emergence of Boko Haram as a terrorist group in
Nigeria significantly changed the country’s security
landscape. This article reveals flaws in the responses
adopted by the government, noting that the
counterterrorism efforts of the Government of Nigeria
were mainly military-centric and not guided by a
documented national strategy until the release of the
NACTEST in 2014. Even at this, the NACTEST is
observed to be fraught with gaps that question its
suitability as a policy document for countering
terrorism in Nigeria. The study surmised that as an
absolute necessity for countering terrorism in Nigeria
a placement of a people-centered strategy that
employs whole-of-government and non-governmental
approaches will help reduce the impact of terrorism in
Nigeria.
Udeh, Anthony, and Teteh(2016)study political will
and the herdsmen threats to Nigeria national security
of Benue state. The violent attack and indiscriminate
killing of human beings by Fulani herdsmen have
underscored the imperative of political will as a
central element in curtailing the acts of violent
extremism thereby leveraging national security in
Nigeria. In other words, political will is germane and
necessary in addressing the issue of herdsmen threats
in Benue State. The indices of political will include
ethnic bias, religious or cultural sentiments. It is
therefore expected that political will may enhance
national security while achieving the goal of checking
and controlling the threats by herdsmen in Benue
State. This study examined how federal government
failed to effectively combat the herders' attacks. It
also established the factors responsible for herdsmen
attacks on Nigerian communities especially in Benue
State and suggested measures to effectively combat
the herders' attacks. The study adopted governance
theory as a framework for analysis and descriptive
method of data analysis. It also adopted secondary
sources of data as its method of data collection. The
study found out that ethnic bias and religious
sentiments were impediments to the political
leadership to muster political will to deal decisively
with herdsmen threats among others. The study
recommended effective intelligence gathering and

sharing mechanism among the security agencies both
within and outside the country.
Samuel Oyewole(2017) human securityinitiatives for
national security crisis: vigilant civilian groups and
counterinsurgency from below in North-Eastern
Nigeria. The dominant narrative of Boko Haram
insurgency in Nigeria emphasis that the campaigns of
terror are products of human security/development
crisis in the affected region. The insurgent threats and
the efforts to end them are therefore framed as state-
centric security concerns and responses: economic,
political, diplomatic, legal and policing measures with
most emphasis on the military. In this process, the
threats that the insurgency constituted to human
security and the counterinsurgency (COIN) from
below are overlooked, underestimated and misplaced.
Civilian’s vigilance and resistance against Boko
Haram in Nigeria was significant between 2003 and
2009 and subsequently in COIN, most especially
since the advent of Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF)
in 2013. This study examines the common ground for
state and human securities, and how civilian vigilance
and resistance constitute COIN from below against
Boko Haram.
3. Methodologies
The researcher used the descriptive type of research
to analyze the data that were gathered. The
respondents were selected through purposive
sampling. A survey questionnaire was used to gather
data which were derived from objectives, rationale
and literatures to support the topic then presented for
validation. The data analysis was limited to the use of
the following statistical tools: Frequency Distribution
and Percentage, Weighted Mean and Analysis of
Variance (ANOVA). The given scale was used to
interpret the result of the data gathered: 3.50 – 4.00 =
Very Efficient (VE)/Always (A); 2.50 – 3.49 =
Efficient (E)/ Often (O); 1.50 – 2.49 = Less Efficient
(LE)/Sometime (S); 1.00 – 1.49 = Not Efficient (NE)/
Never (N).

Tables 1 and 2 show the operational efficiency of the military in terms of operational responsiveness and
operational configuration. Responsiveness is well equipped with a range, quick response team, intelligent and
skill personnel. Efficient military must be equipped with complete operational facilitates that can help them in
combating the various level of insecurity in Nigeria. Chen (2010) states that designing military operations,
completing its equipment does not follow any formula or book set-up.

Table 3 illustrates the test for the two previously postulated bivariate hypothetical statements. The results show
that for hypothesis one which says that there is no significant relationship between strategic military intelligence
and operational responsiveness at r = 0.926 and p = 0.000 < 0.01, hypothesis two which says that there is no
significant relationship between strategic military intelligence and operational configuration at r = 0.969 and p =
0.000 < 0.01. Therefore, based on the results illustrated in Table 3, all previous bivariate null hypothetical
statements are hereby rejected as the study finds that:
H1: There is a significant relationship between strategic military intelligence and operational responsiveness
to insecurity in Nigeria.
H2: There is a significant relationship between strategic militaryintelligence and operational configuration to
insecurity in Nigeria.
3.1. Finding
The result of the analysis in this study shows that
strategic military intelligence impact operational
responsiveness of insecurity in Nigeria. This study
agrees with Udeh, Anthony, and Teteh (2016) that
ethnic bias and religious sentiments were
impediments to the political leadership to muster
political will to deal decisively with herdsmen threats
among others. The study recommended effective
intelligence gathering and sharing mechanism among
the security agencies both within and outside the
country. Also, political leadership of the country
should muster enough political will to deal decisively
with herdsmen threats without ethnic, cultural and
religious sentiments. Also Eugeneji (2016) in his
study on rethinking Nigeria’s cunter-terrorism
strategy. Claim that the emergence of Boko Haram as
a terrorist group in Nigeria significantly changed the
country’s security landscape. as such for country to
be able to overcome the trends of insecurity in
Nigeria, both political and peoples’ will must be
brought in close contact if the country must win the
insecurity problems in the country.
3.2. Conclusion
Based on the finding of the study, the we concludes
that military strategic intelligence impacts operational
efficiency in Nigeria. And that the level or methods
adopted by the Nigeria military to respond to the
threat of insecurity in all the different parts of the
country will not only determine the extents at which
the country will succeed but will also show how
committed the Nigeria Military are working toward
protecting lives and properties of Nigerian.
Furthermore, the extent of alignment and
configuration among the different fraction of the
Nigeria Military (Army, Navy and Air force) and
other intelligent units in Nigeria will as a matter of
importance improves the level of achievement that
the Military will attain.
3.3. Recommendation.
In line with the study findings and conclusion, we
recommend that:
1. The federal government of Nigeria should create
or set up a special unit or agency different from
the military (Army, Navy and Air force) and the
intelligent units (Department of State Service
(DSS) also known as SSS or Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA) etc. ) that will be saddled with the
responsibility of ensuring that the Intel gathered
by the intelligent units and handed to the Military
for some special operations are sustained and
applied with high level of professionalism. As
this will ensure that personnel with clandestine
motives are not only checked but are punished for
such an actions.
2. The local kings, chiefs, villages heads and
communities leaders should be made to swear to
an oath of allegiance to the constitution of the
federal republic of Nigeria and such should be
enshrine in the constitution; with protection,
responsilities and funding set aside to aid them in
providing useful intelligence to the government
via the special intelligence units, military and
even new agency recommended above.
3. The military should be able to link strategic
intelligence Intel with operational or tactical
intelligence Intel as both of them must work in
synergy if the goal of adequate security provision
must be achieved.
