This study is carried out to find out how terrorism affects Nigeria’s foreign policy, in this regard; this project addressed some problems encountered. A major problem discovered was how countries in the international environment have warned its citizens against coming to Nigeria because they believe that Nigeria is not safe enough for their respective citizens. For example, on August 5, 2016, the United States of America warned against travelling to 20 states in Nigeria due to security reasons. This warning was given by the United State Department of States. Such states include Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Bauchi, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Gombe, Imo, Jigawa, Kastina, Kano, Kaduna, Kebbi, Kogi, Niger, Plateau, Rivers, Sokoto and Zamfara.  Also as a result of these terrorist acts in Nigeria by the various terror groups, many foreign companies in Nigeria have brought an end to its operations in Nigeria. Also, foreign companies who intend to come to Nigeria to invest have been discouraged as a result of the security challenges they might encounter.
