dc.description.abstractThe devastating humanitarian crisis in Borno State of Nigeria, which was occasioned by the Boko-Haram insurgency, was presumed to have serious implications for food security in the state. this paper investigated the evolution of the insurgency and examined its nexus with humanitarian crises and food security in Borno State. the paper adopted secondary data for its analysis. the study found that Boko-Haram-induced humanitarian crises in Borno State include but not limited to destruction of more than 20,000 lives and #2b illion property, mass dislocation of inhabitants from Borno state to other parts of Nigeria and mega dispersal of over a million residents into refugee camps within Nigeria and as refugees outside the country within adequate access to humanitarian aids. the insurgency also has negative implication on food security in Borno state having led to dwindling availability of agricultural produce, weak accessibility to the source of farm produce in the state due to security threat and lack of adequate incomes for the dispersed farmers and many consumers to buy food, which further aggravated human crises in the paper. the paper concluded that thye Boko-Haram insurgency has obvious adverse implication for human security and it is directly and indirectly responsible for the large scale humanitarian crises in Borno State. it is recommended that the Nigerian government and other stakeholders should intensify counter insurgency operations and also expediently address the grievances and conflict drivers that led to their emergence in order to arrest the humanitarian crises in Borno State and the North-Eastern Nigeria at largeen_US
