Futures Uncertain: Mapping the Socio-Economic Aftermath of The Boko Haram Insurgency
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Boko Haram can be seen as an expression of frustration against injustice, underdevelopment, corruption, inadequate public service, political marginalisation and socio-economic grievances vis-a-vis the outlandish nature of the Nigerian political economy which fosters disequilibrium The attacks by Boko Haram defy a particular pattern: drive-by shooting, attacks on prisons, and police stations, attacks on churches and “sites of immorality”(such as beer parlours, gambling centers and commercial sex businesses) : and suicide bombing on strategic buildings. They do not discriminate their targets, but their targets of choice appear to be government officials and security agents. It is against this backdrop that this paper attempts to map out the uncertain future of the socio-economic activities as a result of the Boko Haram insurgency. The paper among others recommended the following; traditional institutions integration; economic empowerment and employment generation; reformation of security agencies; proper religious enlightenment; and government proactive attitude towards crisis
