The study examines Nigeria challenge of the mono-culture economy due to an overreliance on oil, and coupled with the threat been stranded arising from the global campaign and signed Paris agreement in 2015 is an economic risk that could jeopardize her economic development. Answers to why the manufacturing sector has occupied a peripheral position in the Nigeria’s economic development aspiration question alongside the overarching goal of articulating pragmatic mediums and approaches for revamping the manufacturing industry from the encumbrances hindering its full capacity functioning. This research was undertaken to examine the manufacturing sector as an alternative to Nigeria’s petroleum dependence economy by dissecting its problems and how-to repositioning it for a viable diversification. The ex-post facto research method was adopted using impeccable secondary data sources. Insecurity and poor political governance were among other impediments to the manufacturing optimum performance, and strengthening the political institution for an all-inclusive government, amongst others, is proffered as panacea.
The revolution in information and communication technology (ICT) has changed virtually all spheres of life, including the means and methods of warfare. Most aspects of life are now tied to technology, from health to governance. The military has not been left out. Some countries' military organisations now have cyber warfare units. The United Nations (UN), established to promote global peace, now finds it difficult to cope with this new emerging dimension of warfare. It is in this context that the study examines ICT and cyber conflict with a focus on rethinking the role of the United Nations in world peace. The study finds that even though the UN has been applying the laws of armed conflict and some suggested norms to address the possible danger of cyber conflict, they seem not to be sufficient which can hamper state relations and threaten the fragile stability of the international system.
