The management of internally displaced persons and enhanced human security in North East Nigeria

Abstract

Human security entails protecting people from severe and pervasive threats in ways that enhance their survival, livelihood and dignity. It broadens the understanding of security from territorial security to the security of people, particularly vulnerable groups such as IDPs who suffer emotional problems such as human right abuses, assault and loss of livelihood among others. These problems have raised the need for attention to the efficient management of IDPs for the enhancement of human security in NE Nigeria. This research therefore unravelled the strategies to mitigate the challenges against effective management of IDPs for enhanced human security in NE Nigeria. The main objective of this research is to appraise the management of IDPs for enhanced human security in NE Nigeria. Questionnaires which were administered to respondents were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) AAEA.
