ABSTRACT
One of the major security threat confronting Nigeria is the proliferation of small arms and light weapons. Despite the industrial level of human loss of lives and properties across space and time, and the heap of publications linked to the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, the scourge has not received the needed attention it deserves and this explains the need to do more. This research work employed a descriptive survey method in analyzing the Effect of proliferation of small arms and light weapons on the development of Nigeria. The study was conducted in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Data was collected in form of questionnaire from the youth leaders, staff and adults who were randomly selected from the research area. The simple Percentage Method was used to analyze the data and interpret the results.
