Almost 60 years after independence, Nigeria is still faced with myriads of security challenges. This paper critically examined many security challenges bedeviling the nation‟s government, ethno-religious crises, insurgencies, armed robbery and border banditry, kidnapping, bunkering and so on. The crux of this paper is drawing a correlation between education and good governance on one side and national security on the other hand. Education is conceived to be a life-long learning experience that begins from birth to death, how education promotes national security as it inculcates desirable human traits like honesty, sincerity, hard-work, punctuality, productivity, innovations, patriotism, selflessness, brotherhood, friendship, etc. Furthermore, education empowers people by inculcating life-long skills and know-how, thereby liberating the individual from poverty and want. While good governance is expected to bring about leadership styles that will make the people centre of their policies and programmes. This paper concludes by asserting that huge investment in education to the benefit of its populace will greatly assist in promoting national security.

Grass Root

Nigeria has been faced with many security challenges especially since her return to democracy in 1999. Since 1999, the nation witnessed serious security challenges that has not only threatened her existence as a nation but has defied all solutions for its eradication including the efforts of the security agencies to tackle the problem. This calls for an urgent attention and collaboration of the traditional rulers in checking the rising tide of insecurity in Nigeria. As the rulers of various communities, and the custodian of the people’s culture, they have a grip of the people at the grass root and therefore can mobilize  the people for action against insecurity in their domain and by extension the nation. The paper is to examine not only the roles of the traditional rulers in the maintenance of security for an effective nation building but also how the institution to be restructured for it to perform better in the maintenance of national security for sustainable development in Nigeria. This demands that the traditional institution be restructured in a way and manner that it will operate optimally in the maintenance of national security

Nigeria is a nation beset with numerous socio-economic, educational and political problems which have retarded its growth and development. Nigeria is bedevilled with the dwindling standard of education, various indices of insecurity such as armed robbery, kidnapping, youth restiveness, ethno-religious crises, militancy, organised crime, political and electioneering conflicts, ethnic militias, boundary disputes, cultism, poverty, exam malpractice, unemployment, pipe-line vandalisation, Boko haram disturbances, bombing and all forms of social misconduct. Education is the bedrock of societal development; no nation can rise above the quality of its citizens‟ educational level. The type of education given to the people determine the type of development and governance that might exist. Quality education, national security and good governance bring along healthy development in a nation. These factors go pariparsu, one cannot talk about national security without considering the educational background of a people, especially the leaders. Hence „you can‟t give what you don‟t have. (nemo dat quad non habet) the duty of the counsellor is to ensure that the studentsof today are well guided in order to produce efficient leaders of tomorrow whose actions will enthrone peace and security. This work takes a look at leadership and education for national security from the counsellor‟s perspective.

And if we consider those “signori” who in Italy have lost their states in our times, as the king of Naples, the duke of Milan, and others, we find on their part, first, a common failure in their armies…. Then we see that some of them either suffered hostility from the people or, if the people were friendly to them, did not know how to secure themselves against the “grandi”.’ This is the terse diagnosis of the political ruin of Renaissance Italy made by Machiavelli in the twenty-fourth chapter of The Prince. One of the three causes for the political decadence of the nation is the failure on part of the individual rulers to secure themselves against the ‘grandi’.

Definition Of

Education is conceived to be a life-long learning process that begins with the birth and ends with the death of a person. Education has equally been defined as a process by which individuals are assisted formally through proper direction and guidance to develop their capacities for their own benefit and that of the society. Science education on the other hand is a field of study that exposes learners to the contents as well as the methodology (processes) of acquiring scientific knowledge for practical application in relevant and applicable areas of life endeavours.This paper critically examined the dimensions of national security in Nigeria, the essence of government vis-à-vis citizens expectation, the definition of national security, the issue of insecurity, the many security challenges bedeviling the country and how Science education as an instrument can be used for the enhancement of national security in Nigeria. Since national security is important for national development, it is therefore meaningless to talk of development in the absence of national security. In otherwords, insecurity in a nation is a treat to development. In a state of insecurity, development is as elusive as a mirage. Useful recommendations were also made.

A novel, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), causes severe acute respiratory syndrome and spread globally from Wuhan, China. In March 2020 the World Health Organization declared the SARS-Cov-2 virus as a COVID- 19, a global pandemic. This pandemic happened to be followed by some restrictions, and specially lockdown playing the leading role for the people to get disassociated with their personal and social schedules. And now the food is the most necessary thing to take care of. It seems the new challenge for the individual is self-isolation to maintain themselves on the health basis and fight against the pandemic situation by boosting their immunity. Food organised by proper diet may maintain the physical and mental health of the individual. Ayurveda aims to promote and preserve the health, strength and the longevity of the healthy person and to cure the disease by properly channelling with and without Ahara. In Ayurveda, diet (Ahara) is considered as one of the critical pillars of life, and Langhana plays an important role too. This article will review the relevance of dietetic approach described in Ayurveda with and without food (Asthavidhi visheshaytana & Lanhgan) during COVID-19 like a pandemic.

Abstract: The longstanding effort to develop a people-based regionalism in Southeast Asia has been shaped by an inherent tension between the liberal inclination to privilege the individual and the community under formation, on the one hand, and the realist insistence on the primacy of the state, on the other. This article explores the conditions and constraints affecting ASEAN’s progress in remaking Southeast Asia into a people-focused and caring community in three areas: disaster management, development, and democratization (understood here as human rights). Arguably, the persistent gap in Southeast Asia between aspiration and expectation is determined less by political ideology than by the pragmatic responses of ASEAN member states to the forces of nationalism and protectionism, as well as their respective sense of local and regional responsibility.Resumen: El esfuerzo histórico para desarrollar un regionalismo basado en las personas del sudeste de Asia ha estado marcado por una tensión fundamental entre la inclinación liberal de privilegiar el individuo y la comunidad y la insistencia realista sobre la primacía del estado. Este artículo explora las condiciones y limitaciones que afectan el progreso de la ASEAN en la reestructuración de Asia sudoriental en una comunidad centrada en el cuidado de las personas en: gestión de desastres, desarrollo y democratización (i.e., derechos humanos). La brecha persistente en el sudeste asiático entre la aspiración y la expectativa está determinada por las respuestas pragmáticas de los miembros de la ASEAN sometidos a las fuerzas del nacionalismo y proteccionismo, así como su respectivo sentido de responsabilidad local y regional.Résumé: L’effort historique pour développer un régionalisme fondé sur les peuples en Asie du Sud-Est a été marqué par une tension fondamentale entre l’inclination libérale qui privilégie, d’une part, l’individu et la communauté et, d’autre part, l’insistance réaliste sur la primauté de l’État. Cet article explore les conditions et les contraintes qui nuisent aux progrès de l’ANASE dans le cadre d’une refonte de l’Asie du Sud-Est en une communauté centrée et attentive aux peuples dans trois domaines : la gestion des désastres, le développement et la démocratisation (en référence aux droits humains). Le fossé persistant en Asie du Sud-Est entre les aspirations et les attentes est vraisemblablement moins déterminé par l’idéologie politique que par les réponses pragmatiques des États membres de l’ANASE soumis aux forces du nationalisme et du protectionnisme ainsi que par leur sens respectif de la responsabilité locale et régionale.

Songkhla Lake

Songkhla Lake Basin has a long history of at least 6,000 years and has a wide variety of tourism resources including nature, history, beliefs, culture and various traditions of the local people. It covers 3 provinces, the whole area of Phatthalung, 12 districts of Songkhla and 2 districts of Nakhon Si Thammarat Province. It has an area of approximately 8,727 square kilometers. There are many tourist attractions because the basin has a long history through different eras, natural, historic, ancient sites, and the culture of the local people. In 2018, both Thai and foreign tourists visited Songkhla and Phatthalung, which is the main area of Songkhla Lake Basin. The total number of tourists that came was 7,628,813 and 1,641,841 and an income of 68,252.64 and 3,470.96 million baht was generated from each province, respectively (Ministry of Tourism and Sports, 2020). Although Songkhla Lake Basin has various tourist attractions, the promotion of tourism with the involvement of government agencies in the past mainly focused on promoting tourism along with the tourist attractions rather than encouraging tourists to experience and learn the culture of the people living in the area; the culture that reflects the uniqueness of the people in the south. This study, therefore, aims to find creative tourism activities in SLB in order to increase the value of tourism resources, create tourism activities that are aligned with the resources available in the community and increase the number of tourists in the area. Data for this study were collected using a secondary source of data collection method. It was done through a literature review of related documents, texts, magazines, and research which focus on Songkhla Lake Basin as a guideline for designing tourism activities. The field survey was done through twelve community-based tourism sites in SLB to find creative tourism activities. Data on each activity were collected in detail by interviewing the tourism community leaders and the local people. Content analysis was used to describe the individual open-ended questions by focusing on the important issues and the information obtained was presented as a narrative.

The basic elements of the national security of the individual, society and the state that are to be taken into account in the development and implementation of the practice of the management of doctrines and strategies for sustainable development are revealed. The complex of potential factor determinants and motivational factors of de-evolutionary development of the national socio-economic system at the present stage of its functioning are determined. The methodological substantiation of the specificity of modern processes of state development of Ukraine on its key meta-spaces is accomplished. The formalization of the interconnection and interdependence of spatial management of natural resource assets has been made on six planes: ideological; political; spiritual-moral and politico-ideological; institutional; value-ideological; the goal is conceptual.
