What is it about?
Every country has its security challenges. The political strategy for resolving security issues in Nigeria is appropriating to chief executives at the federal, state and local tiers of government huge sums of monies supposedly for quelling security crises. The chief executives may spend this money without being accountable to anyone. So they spend it on private, personal needs, that have nothing to do with public security. The paper finds that these appropriations are unconstitutional and make corruption easy and lucrative. It recommends measures for reversing this trend.

Perspectives
The tenor of this paper inflicts politicians with self-guilt and has propensity to lead to a re-think of the system. I am excited to publish with this journal. I feel encouraged to work harder.
