Nigeria universities face numerous challenges, but this paper focuses on just two, which encompass the other challenges. Both the public and private universities in Nigeria face these issues and thus, it is of the essence that they are brought to light and expounded upon. Hence, this paper delves into the issue of good governance and insecurity in Nigerian universities, and it also involves how education or the lack of good university education thereof can result in the aforementioned issues that will later plague universities. This brings about a dangerous cycle that would have no easy fix unless the issues are examined independently and linked subsequently. A brief examination of how these issues affect the progress of university education in Nigeria will be handled in a suitable introduction which will detail the reason why this study is essential and give a brief insight into the topical terms. The introduction will also include some objectives of the topic, which is what the paper intends to achieve in the process of its completion. An insightful look into the topical terms will be given with a follow-up of the relationship between the terms to give a complete understanding of the terms. A suitable literature review on the topical terms will be provided to give backing to the paper discussion, and solutions to the topical issues will be adduced thereafter. An applicable way forward to the topic will be provided to give a reader a practicable step to ensuring positive change as far as the topic is concerned.
