Abstract
This study examined the relationship between state of education and insecurity in Nigeria. It delved into the contributory factors of insecurity in Nigeria. The survey research design was adopted for the study. One hundred and fifteen (115) respondents were randomly selected across the six geo-political zones in the country. The selection was done through the distribution of the research instrument, questionnaire, titled “Education and Insecurity Assessment Scale (EIAS)”. The instrument was designed by the researchers, and constructed in a 4-point likert scale format. Data obtained for the study were analysed using the descriptive statistics of frequency counts, mean (x) and simple percentage. The Pearson Product Moment Correlation was used to test the formulated hypotheses.
