ABSTRACT
Insecurity has been a major dare to the Nigerian government in recent times. The actions and activities of the Islamic sect known as Boko Haram had led to enormous loss of lives and properties in the country particularly the North-East part of Nigeria. Some of these activities include intimidation, bombings, suicide attacks, sporadic gunfire of unarmed Nigerian citizens, burning of police stations and Churches, kidnapping, raping of school girls and women. Nigeria has also been included amongst one of the terrorist countries of the world. This has serious implications for national development. Though government had made worried had work to deal with these challenges masqueraded by terrorism and insecurity in the country, but the rate of insurgency and insecurity is still disturbing. This study therefore investigated the effect of Boko Haram on the socio-economic development of North-East Nigeria. Both primary and secondary data were used. The researcher used a survey method, since the study involves field work and the most relevant method of eliciting information or data from delineated population is through survey method.
