Abstract: This paper examines the historical development of the Nigeria Police Force, its various challenges, and optimal management strategies. The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) boasts a rich and intricate history that spans more than two hundred years. Originating during the colonial period, it has evolved into a national law enforcement body in Nigeria, experiencing substantial changes along the way. The paper offers an in-depth historical review of the NPF, emphasizing its progression, obstacles, and necessary reforms. Furthermore, the paper investigates effective management practices for the NPF, incorporating both international policing standards and local contextual considerations to fulfill its responsibilities. The findings indicate that successful management of the NPF necessitates a comprehensive strategy that tackles issues related to accountability, transparency, community involvement, and capacity enhancement. The study concludes with proposals aimed at reforming the NPF to improve its efficiency, effectiveness, and credibility in upholding law and order in Nigeria.

Abstract: This study investigates how United Nations Security Council Resolutions 2349 and 2391 have prejudiced counterterrorism efforts in the Lake Chad Basin and Sahel region between 2017 and 2023. With focus on the emerging menace of Boko Haram, Al-Qaeda, and the Islamic State in West Africa Province, which have disrupted the stability of nations such as Nigeria, Mali, and Burkina Faso. The study examines the goals, execution, and success of the resolutions, as well as the logistical, political, and socio-economic issues encountered using historical data, interviews, and content analysis. The results indicate that, although UNSC interventions, in terms of peacekeeping, sanctions, and capacity building, have enhanced regional security, they have been limited by poor governance, political instability, and human rights issues. Operations such as MINUSMA have encountered challenges of operations and coordination. The research finds that improved intelligence-sharing, more financial and technical assistance, and socio-economic development initiatives are necessary to deal with root causes and attain sustainable peace.
