Abstract
It is widely agreed that violent conflict precipitates unfavourable socioeconomic implications on the society. Boko Haram insurgency has inflicted devastating consequences on the Nigerian polity, from the loss of lives and property to psychological pain of living in constant threat of violence. This study examines the impact of the Boko Haram insurgency on education, healthcare and economic activities in Nigeria, particularly the northeast Nigeria. The study adopted the content analysis approach in which previous publications of governmental institutions, multilateral agencies and NGOs about the incidences were examined and the impact of such incidences on the socioeconomic condition of the society identified and analyzed. The findings of the study reveal that the conflict has caused a setback in education and healthcare sectors. The conflict has also resulted in billions of Naira loss in the containment of the Boko Haram attacks, particularly in northern Nigeria.
