Abstract

This paper examined the impact of terrorism on the national development of Nigeria. This thrust became necessary following the spate of losses in both human and material resources, in the wake of increase in terrorist activities in Nigeria. Using the Marxist political economy approach, the paper contends that terrorism emerged from Nigeria’s national development process. From this perspective, it could be understood as evidence of the failure of national development. Data for the study were gathered through secondary sources, while analysis was done qualitatively. The paper recommended, among other things, that the best way to curb terrorism in Nigeria is through aggressive pursuit of all-inclusive national development.
