This paper underscores the importance of education and employment as valuable indices of development and attainment of peace and security in every society. For growth and development to take place, the inhabitants of an environment must be enlightened, employed and properly secured. The study reviews extant literature which examines the role of growth and development in the sustenance of a society; it also evaluates the concept of security and development. The paper further indicates that a strong negative correlation exists between security and the indicators of underdevelopment such as unemployment, illiteracy, poverty and inequality via social and political exclusion. There is panoramic evaluation of insecurity in the nation, some variables of insecurity and underdevelopment were examined and panacea to the myriads of the problem was proffered. A modern state is one that can secure and enlighten its citizenry; this will promote patriotism and sustainable development that will take care of the nation’s future.
