The study examined the causes of insecurity in Nigeria and the strategies in which Nigeria can curtail insecurity in Nigeria through business education. Two research questions were raised and one hypothesis was formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The population of the study comprised 40 lecturers in business education and Office Technology and Management from three Universities and Federal Polytechnic, Ado Ekiti respectively. All the lecturers were used since the population was manageable. A questionnaire containing 22 items was used for data collection. The questionnaire was given to experts in Business Education for content and face validity. The internal consistency of the instrument was ascertained using cronbach alpha with coefficient value of 0.75. Data collected were analyzed using mean and Standard deviation while t-test was used to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed among others: the need for provision of adequate laboratories for business education for skill acquisition, provision of needed teaching facilities for teaching business education, adequate funding of business education, etc. This will help the students to develop skills to enable them set up their own business, thus, helping the country to curtail insecurity. It was recommended that the government should provide business educators with an effective re-training programme in the use of modern technique and make sure equipment are sufficiently available in the schools to enhance the quality of teaching.
