Nnamani, Dr. Ugwuibe, Onyemaechi Christopher, Dr. Chukwurah, Daniel Chi Jnr Abstract: The heterogeneous nature of Nigerian society has been a contentious issue n the frameworks of national leadership since independence. Multiculturalism is a uniting or divisive factor for Nigeria; it is an instrument of nationhood, culminating in a civil war, agitations for state creation, sovereign national conference, rotational presidency, and zoning system in recent times, ethnic and religious insurgency as well as terrorist violence. National integration is far-fetched and a quest by successive administrations and non-state actors who are stakeholders in the Nigerian project. The context of external influences such as migrants, foreign visitors and unwanted aliens and their activities is un accountable. This paper examines the evolution of multiculturalism in the challenge of national unity, with particular attention on national youth service corps scheme in Nigeria's 21st century. The grave dangers of insecurity posed by unchecked aliens and non-patriotic aliens flock into the nation through the countries porous border. A descriptive-analytical approach is applied, while the data are basically collected from texts and academic journals. The Nigerian state requires an overhaul of its security within and outside its borders for cursory look at immigration system.
