dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The study examined the factors that aided the transformation of Boko Haram into a transnational insurgent group and appraised the influence of the Boko Haram transnational insurgency on Nigeria’s foreign policy. It also investigated how the transnational insurgency of Boko Haram has impacted on Nigeria’s relations with her immediate neighbours and external relations. These were with the view to understanding the influence of Boko Haram’s transnational insurgency on the Nigerian foreign policy between 2010 and 2017. Primary and secondary data were utilised for the study. Primary data were sourced through documentation and in-depth interviews with 15 purposively selected respondents from the following study population: National Defence College (NDC) (3), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) (3); the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs (NIIA) (2); the Chadian Embassy (1) and Nigerien Embassy (1) in Nigeria. Other respondents included scholars/researchers from Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife. The choice of the respondents was based on the strength of their expertise, knowledge and engagement with security issues and policy formulation. Secondary data were sourced from textbooks, journal articles, conference papers, lectures, newspaper, magazines, past research works and internet materials. The collected data were analysed using narrative methods. The result showed that factors such as geographical location, government negligence, globalisation, ideology rooted in Islamic fundamentalism, cross-border linkage and language, radicalism and extremism aided the easy transformation of the group into a transnational insurgent group. It also showed that the transformation of Boko Haram insurgent group into a transnational insurgent redefined Nigerian foreign policy. Furthermore, the transformation of Boko Haram insurgent group into a transnational insurgent group had negative implications on Nigeria’s image projection with other world powers. The study pointed out that Boko Haram’s transformation and incursion into the neighbouring countries of Chad, Niger and Cameroon ensured a more friendly and robust relationship amongst the countries. The study concluded that the transformation of Boko Haram’s insurgency into a transnational one on the one hand, strengthened Nigeria’s relationship with its immediate neighbours, while on the other gave Nigeria a negative image across the world.en_US
