| dc.description.abstract | This study examined the complex dynamics of human trafficking along the nigeria-niger border between 2015 and 2023, focusing on its impact on human security and institutional analysis. The research sets out to achieve several objectives which includes: to identify the forms and effects of human trafficking on victims, families, and national security; to explore how human security challenges—such as poverty, unemployment, and displacement—contribute to individuals' vulnerability to traffickers; to assess the effectiveness of the national agency for the prohibition of trafficking in persons (naptip) and uncover gaps in its operations; to evaluate how familial involvement and psychological manipulation affect victims' reluctance to seek help; to examine the contribution of weaknesses in border control and law enforcement; to assess cross-border governance limitations between nigeria and niger; and to investigate the implications of president buhari’s closed border policy on human trafficking and human security in the region. The research adopts a dual theoretical framework of human needs theory and institutional theory to examine how socio-economic and institutional factors intersect to perpetuate trafficking. A mixed-methods approach was employed, with primary data gathered through in-depth interviews with trafficking victims, border officials, naptip representatives, and community members, alongside open-ended surveys conducted within border communities. | |
