Abstract

Background: Using secondary sources of data, and adopting transnationalism theory, it is discovered that Nigeria’s territory and population are vulnerable. Consequently, the border towns and its people become prey to transnational terrorists’ organizations; drug barons; smugglers; among others. Some frontline settlers are conscripted into or give support to the criminal elements; engage in illegal smuggling, thereby making the state lose vital revenue from some traders and corrupt state officials at the border posts. Aim: The study looked at some of the literature on border security and insecurity, terrorism on both a domestic and international scale, the effects of porous border security on people's lives, property, and socioeconomic activities, and the implications for those living in the border region of northeastern Nigeria. Method: Articles from magazines, newspapers, textbooks, and other resources were compiled. The many authors' viewpoints and contents are studied or addressed in the sections that follow. Findings: Border insecurity is the factor responsible for the inability of the states to halt the terrorists’ activities across Nigerian international boundary in the north-east axis. Government is therefore urged to establish its authority in those frontline states; equip the nation’s security operatives; boost cross-border security surveillances; provide social infrastructures for those at the border to make them patriotic and loyal to the state as the panacea for halting trans-border criminality and terrorism in the North-East in particular and Nigeria at large.

Abstract

The study aims to evaluate the reintegration program for former Boko Haram and ISWAP combatants in North East Nigeria. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 500 respondents. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results indicated that 105 respondents, representing 52.5% agreed that economic, social, and political factors were vital to the success or challenges of the program. They also strongly agreed that less cases of recidivism were a factor affecting the success of the programme. The research contributes to understanding the design of inclusive programs that consider both community and individual needs, aiming to enhance social cohesion and minimize conflict in post-conflict environments. Furthermore, the research on effective communication strategies to inform and engage host communities could shed light on methods to foster understanding and reduce fear regarding ex-combatants. The establishment of independent oversight bodies could be studied to understand their role in monitoring program financing, stakeholder accountability, and resource management.
