Governance Activism for the Inclusive Development of Security in Northern Nigeria

In Northern Nigeria and the surrounding regions, Boko Haram has killed and maimed more innocent civilians in the past year than ISIS and Al Shabaab combined. In 2014 it killed 6,644 people, surpassing ISIS, which killed 6,073, thus making it the deadliest terrorist group in 2014, according to a report by Global Terrorism Index. Boko Haram, in carrying out its murderous attacks, makes no apologies for its nature as a threat to governance and development. This requires a critical and an all-inclusive response.
