Boko Haram, formed in 2002, has perpetrated extensive violence, resulting in over 30,000 civilian deaths and the displacement of millions across Nigeria, Chad, and Cameroon. The Nigerian government’s counterinsurgency efforts between 2010 and 2015 led to human rights abuses on both sides, with reports of arbitrary arrests and torture. The group’s attacks, characterized by brutal tactics, have targeted various locations, including churches, mosques, schools, and markets. The insurgency has significantly impacted Nigeria’s economy, hindering foreign investment and economic growth, particularly in the northeast region. The conflict’s humanitarian toll has created a pressing need for research on its economic ramifications, particularly in terms of socio-economic development in affected states like Adamawa. This study aims to investigate the impact of Boko Haram on Adamawa State, focusing on areas such as internal revenue, foreign direct investment, cultural growth, and local industries/agriculture.
