ABSTRACT The study of terrorism is a part of international academics in the modern era and this is because the terrorism's effect on the local and international economies in recent years may account for its consideration. The effects of separatist violence and terrorism on Nigeria's societal and economical activities, effective governance, including foreign policy are the focus of this research. A country's reputation, its citizens' safety, its economy, and its ability to attract international investment are all harmed by insurgent groups. In Nigeria's case, these issues have only exacerbated unemployment, impoverishment, and the nation's underdevelopment. According to the research, the current Nigerian administration's inability to effectively combat the threat is evidence of weak national class and a lack of good governance. This study investigates the impact of terrorism on Nigerian foreign policy. This study aims to understand how terrorism in Nigeria has evolved over time, what reasons have contributed to it, how terrorism has affected Nigeria's foreign policy, how successful government actions have been in combating terrorism, and what steps should be taken next. That's why this study will take a more descriptive approach than previous ones. This study analyzed the dangers posed to Nigeria's foreign policy by "violent non-state entities" like Boko Haram and similar terrorist groups. This study also investigated the relationship between globalization and the expansion of non-state actors. It has been recommended that the government of Nigeria has to create more opportunities for the nation's young unemployment population to work. Also, the government should institute initiatives that genuinely strengthen the position of women by providing necessary infrastructure and supporting their development.
