Security Governance and Public Administration: Unpacking the Effect of Insurgency/Communal Violence on Service Delivery and Administration in Nigeria

Abstract

This study examines the impact of insurgency and communal violence on public administration and service delivery in Nigeria, with a focus on how insecurity affects governance in conflict-prone regions. The objective of the study is to explore how public administration can adapt to these challenges and ensure continuous service delivery despite security disruptions. The study found that insecurity disrupts public administration by displacing staff, diverting funds from service delivery to security, and eroding local governance structures. The research highlights the importance of decentralization, adaptive capacity, and community-based governance as key areas for reform.
