conclusion and suggestions on terrorism
Answers
Answer:
Since the emergence of the terror campaign by Boko Haram in Nigeria, it seems different approaches have been adopted but predominantly a military response to religious and ideological problems as seen by many. A misguided military-centred crises management strategy has largely been favoured. Considering the complexity of the sect’s mission and objective, the need for a root cause approach to the crises has become almost indispensable to the general quest for lasting peace and security in Nigeria. The root cause approach will help to correct and avoid future emergence of such a phenomenon in terror pursuits. This study has unravelled and supported a socio-economic perspective to the problem since Boko Haram terrorism seems to have been driven first from socio-economic deprivations. The recommendations in this chapter follow from the preceding analysis around an oil-centric characteristic of Nigeria political economy, endemic corruption, poverty, frustration, despair, and social exclusion and marginalization inherent in Nigeria. Key root cause recommendations are presented as solutions for present terror crises: Good governance and leadership; improving the education profile in the northern region; effective poverty alleviation programme and social welfare improvement; and creating employment opportunities.
