dc.description.abstractTerrorism/Insurgency and other forms of Militancy or armed conflict have posed a serious threat to the wellbeing of human race especially children in recent time both in Africa and other parts of the world. This study examined the impact of terrorism or Insurgency on the welfare of the African child using the activities of the Boko Haram sect in Nigeria as a reference point. Cross sectional survey research design was employed and data collected using structured questionnaire which was administered to 180 respondents of different occupational ladder in the three states (Benue, Enugu and Edo) of Nigeria which were randomly chosen. The study was anchored on two theories; the multi-factoral theory of social change and Differential opportunity theory. Findings emanating from the study showed that Boko Haram in Nigeria is a product of Norther political elites and sponsorship from foreign terrorist organizations to propagate Islamic religion. Respondents view also revealed that children are the first destabilized victim during insurgency. Finally, some recommendations were made which if implemented will see to the final burial of this cankerworm in Nigeria.en_US
