THE EFFECT OF BOKO HARAM INSURGENCY ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES IN NIGERIA (A CASE STUDY MAIDUGURI METROPOLITAN COUNCIL)
Abstract
The safety of lives and property has been a major source of concern for Human Right from time immemorial, the quest for security forms part of the reasons why ―people aggregated into bands, tribes, kingdoms, and nation-states to join international organizations (PadelFord, 1976). Even in ancient times, the need for security was expressed in the form of fruit gathering and periodic expeditions for the aim of meeting the most important socio-economic requirements of the people. Perhaps, the physical security need of the people constituted part of the reasons why they preferred rocky and mountainous topographies for shelter, (Peterside, 2014). Thus, one of the most important roles of any state is to protect its citizens and inhabitants against any threat, be it physical, social, or economic. In the words of Aristotle ―The state exists for the sake of life and continues for the sake of the best life.
