Over the years nations of West Africa have rallied around the ECOWAS as an instrument for economic emancipation and integration, along with is, the bloc uses another of its instrument - the ECOMOG to curtail civil conflict and war. Yet, several new security problems that were not envisaged at time of the creation of ECOMOG have put the mechanism to taste and groups like the BOKO Haram, the Toreg rebels among others are threatening the survival of the ECOWAS. This paper employ analysis of existing data method to analyse documented evidence on the subject matter of the paper. It findings are that there is a relationship between absence of basic services (potable water, healthcare, education etc.) some products of good governance and economic development on hand and the rising insecurity on the other hand. The paper therefore, recommend that the ECOWAS bloc must give priority to good and quality governance by ensuring the welfare and wellbeing of its people are qualitatively enriched in other to reversed the current wave of security challenges threatening its unity and survival.
