Hundreds of Nigerian Students Kidnapped… Again: Is Nigeria a Failed State?

01 Apr 2021  |  globalriskinsights.com
In Nigeria, a recent kidnapping of 317 girls from a school in Jangebe, Zamfara state, marks the continuation of a disturbing trend of mass abductions. The Nigerian military's failure to protect the school, despite its presence, highlights broader security issues in the country. Boko Haram and other criminal gangs exploit porous borders and weak maritime security to perpetuate violence and kidnappings. The government's inability to effectively counter these threats has led to closures of boarding schools and increased inter-ethnic violence. Despite Nigeria's economic growth and potential, the persistent security challenges undermine its stability and development. The government's reliance on military solutions and lack of effective leadership exacerbate the situation. With President Buhari's term ending in 2023, there is limited time to address these complex issues.
