N2  - ABSTRACT
Terrorism is not a novel occurrence as it has been in existence for many years, and it
has been carried out by people and groups primarily for political reasons.
Notwithstanding, owing to the actions of these terrorist groups/organizations, they will
at large incapacitate the ability of a state to render services that will guarantee citizens’
wellbeing as well as security. adopting Boko Haram as a test case, an organization that
has been in existence for over 20 years, the study concentrates on their destructive
activities such as the Madalla Christmas Day bombing of a church in the Northern part
of the country, and how it has, economically, psychologically, and socially impacted
the world in general. Moreover, for the goal of the research to be accomplished, the
study adopted qualitative research to examine the subject of this research. The theory
of Realism was adopted in the context of theoretical framework, Contingent upon the
findings, the study concludes that bad elements within some states bring together as
well as promote terror networks customarily for short term reasons and the moment
they are no longer beneficial, they are disposed, even though at times doing away with
such terrorist network is not the stress-free task. Political motives remain the foremost
connection between terrorism and global security with main actors, whereas
advancement of ideologies with religious inclinations come as minor pointers because
they do not occur with much state sponsorship like the political factors. As regards the
exact effects of terrorism activities on Economic Security, findings comprise the
decrease of FDI, reduction in capital inflows, hindrance of the effective functioning of
stock markets, alterations in investment both capital as well as labor. It brings about a
greater level of uncertainty therefore eroding the confidence of potential investors
