Nigeria's civil-military relations remains complex that characterized by the insecurity and human rights abuses, including the extra-judicial killing influenced by the country's history of transitions to civilian governments. This study examines the challenges facing Nigeria’s civil-military relations including conflicts, security challenges such as Kidnapping, Fulani-herdsmen, Boko Haram insurgency, Niger Delta militancy, and various communal violence that made the country tagged as one of the unsafe country in the continent. The study argues that these challenges have deteriorated the trust between the military and civilian authorities, increased tensions between the military and civilian populations, and resulted in significant insecurity to the Nigeria nation. To address these challenges, the study recommends strengthening civilian oversight of the military, improving military-civil relations through dialogue and education, and addressing the root causes of conflicts. The study concludes that effective civil-military relations are critical to addressing Nigeria's security challenges and promoting stability, security, and development.
