Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Terrorism has become a significant threat to the stability of many regions in Nigeria, with far-reaching consequences on various aspects of society, including business operations and investments. In Birnin Kebbi LGA, Kebbi State, terrorism-related activities such as bombings, kidnappings, and armed attacks have led to widespread insecurity, creating a challenging environment for business operations. According to Adamu & Omoniyi (2023), terrorist activities disrupt local economies, discourage foreign investment, and increase the cost of doing business by introducing uncertainty and fear. Businesses in Birnin Kebbi LGA have faced severe challenges, including the destruction of assets, disruption of supply chains, and the forced closure of businesses due to security threats. This study aims to examine how terrorism has impacted business investments in Birnin Kebbi, focusing on the direct and indirect effects on entrepreneurs, investors, and the broader local economy.
1.2 Statement of the Problem

This study seeks to investigate the specific ways in which terrorism has impacted business investments, with a focus on the challenges faced by local entrepreneurs and potential investors.
