Abstract
The paper is a qualitative study of education as a panacea for social stability in a midst of insecurity in Nigeria. This is based on the fact that education can be used as an instrument of social transformation in a multi-ethnic nation such as Nigeria. The paper maintained that in a multi-ethnic nation, education can serve as the instrument of change. This becomes necessary because, our education had failed to deliver the good life it purports for, due to the effect, of insecurity on human life in any community/social settings. The methodology of approach is conceptual analysis which is the rightful format into which philosophical arguments are fitted for proper presentations or elucidations. This method of research relies on some sorts of definitional structures of concepts and not on data as in empirical research. The analysis premises on the assumption that education can be used to reshape or rechanneled the behavior of people in social environment positively as the situation demands. The paper advocates for knowledge that can be used positively to promote unity and peaceful co-existence in all society of the world to bread social stability and security in the midst of insecurity. It was recommended among other things that our programmes of education should be directed towards the training of all stakeholders on the issues and benefits of peaceful social relation to breed security in every society.
