Social Antecedents and Sustainability of Corporate Social Responsibility Initiatives: In Developing Country Perspectives

The alarming level of insecurity in Nigeria has fuelled the crime rate, which has made insecurity a topical issue in Nigeria today. Loss of lives and valuables on Nigerian roads induced by crime and criminalities is on the increase and worrisome. The robbery incidents which occurred between 2009-2014 where presented in a table and ranked alongside the highways where they occurred and the Lagos-Ore-Benin highway ranked first, meaning there has been more robbery incidents along that route than the others. The main aim of this paper is to propose a strategic action plan that will assist in monitoring security of road transport in Nigeria. The analysis of the current trend of Highway Armed Robbery incidents (HARIs) in Nigeria from 2009-2014 was done using the Microsoft excel statistical package which shows an increase in the trend of HARIs. The linear regression equation was used in predicting future incidents 2015-2030. The Future trend shows a continuous increase in HARIs in Nigeria if proactive measures are not put in place hence the proposal of the strategic action plan. The proposed strategic action plan will assist Policy makers and Security Personnel in taking proactive measures against Road Transport Insecurity in Nigeria.
