Project Abstract

Project Overview

<p> This study critically examines and Appraises Terrorism as a Challenge to Nigeria and a Threat to Human Security. The methodology is essentially descriptive and analytical. The data used are derived from two Sources, Primary and Secondary Sources. This study has identified government’s as the sources of underdevelopment, poverty, corruption, religion and deprivation to the causes of insurgencies in the North. Government has given less consideration to human security in the North and this has advantaged Boko Haram to create threat and fear in the psyche of the people. This study however argues that, government needs to overhaul the entire security operations and intelligence of the Nigeria security force, it should also provide programmes to address challenges posed by terror through conflict prevention, peace education should also be inculcated into the school Curriculum and Religious leader must work together to educate their followers in order to tolerate a peacefully cohabitation among themselves. <br></p>
