ABSTRACT
Terrorism constitute serious threats to Nigeria‘s security, affecting not only Nigeria‘s sovereignty, law and order, but also creating deep fear and socio-economic suffering amongst citizens. Recently, Nigeria is faced with Boko Haram Terrorism, particularly in North Eastern part of the country. The impacts of terrorism on the socio-economic activities of any society cannot be over-emphasized. Terror attacks or mere threats of terrorism can have so much socio-economic consequences, for instance terror attacks can lead to loss of means of livelihood, diversion of foreign direct investment (FDI), reduction in level of trade, redirecting of public investment funds to security, low productivity in the society among others. The Boko Haram terrorist use suicide bombings, improvised explosives devices (IEDs), kidnapping and raping of women and children as weapons of war. Mostly, they target security forces, government buildings, schools, market places, large gatherings, among others. It is based on these nefarious and destructive activities of the Boko Haram terrorist that this research sets out to assess the socio-economic consequences of Boko Haram Terrorism on Mubi-Metropolis of Adamawa State: 2011-2014. The study applies Theory of Human Security as a theoretical guide. The study mainly relied on primary data based on, questionnaire, interviews, Focus Group Discussion and personal observation. The primary data gathered were supported by relevant secondary data. From the data gathered, the study discovered that: the socio-economic consequences of Boko Haram terrorism on Mubi-Metropolis are really negative, the Boko Haram attacks led to loss of lives and properties, destruction of commercial activities, agriculture, livestock, education, and the total collapse of socio-economic activities in Mubi-Metropolis. The study concludes that Boko Haram terrorism has wrecked so much havoc on many villages and towns particularly in North-Eastern Nigeria, the impact of Boko Haram terrorism will linger on for a long time. Arising from these findings as supported by empirical data, the study recommends that: the federal, state and local governments should live up to their main responsibilities of good governance, provision of jobs, provision of quality education, and to ensure that citizens at various levels of the society are carried along in government policies and programmes.
