Internal Security Challenges and Microfinance Sustainability in Nigeria

Abstract

This paper examines internal security challenges and microfinance sustainability in Nigeria.  Nigeria’s internal security threats are among the most multifaceted and persistent in Africa, affecting every geo-political region, educational center, religion, businesses, and creating unimaginable negative consequences for national stability and development. The safety of lives and property still remains the basic responsibility of the government and the symbol for the existence of important economic sectors like agriculture, education, business, health, social, and the entire nation. This paper made use of secondary data and offered a comprehensive discussion on national and internal security challenges, the threats to internal security and the insecurity environment of microfinance in Nigeria.
