Traditional Institutions and Security Management in the Niger-Delta Region of Nigeria

Abstract

Across the globe, traditional institutions have continually played a centripetal role in the governance structure of states. This involvement in the political structure of states by non-state actors has become more expedient for states in the developing world grappling with security infractions and dislocations. For Nigeria, which has become increasingly famous for security infractions, this work appraises the role of the traditional institution in security management by using qualitative methods.
