| dc.description.abstract | Nigeria is a big, intricate, and for all intents and purposes complex country, with multifarious ethnic groups and devotees of various religious affiliations. While there have been stints of ethnic and religious violence among different groups in the country, none have posed the kind of threat that Boko Haram currently poses. A considerable amount of literature has been published on the development and sustaining factors, the modus operandi, networks, support base, motivations, goals, rivals, and militancy of Boko Haram. A much debated question, however, is what Nigeria government claims in relation to the situation and whether government provides a communal and just approach in dealing with the group. This study intends to examine the position of government in its confrontations against Boko Haram. It will also examine how moderate and balanced are the steps taking by the Nigerian government. Within the period of 10 years in which this problem began, has the government been able to mitigate activities of Boko Haram? Has the measures proposes by the government worked or not? The conclusion of this study shows that it is crucial for the Nigerian government to toll the path of moderation, justice and balance in dealing with the situation. It also provides the practical steps Nigerian government can take in resolving this impasse. | en_US |
