The aim and objectives of the study is to identify the contributing factors to terrorism in Nigeria; highlight different concepts of counterterrorism strategies; investigate the dynamics of counterterrorism strategies in Nigeria; and interrogate the effectiveness of counterterrorism in Nigeria. Terrorism is commonly understood to refer to acts of violence that target civilians in the pursuit of political or ideological aims.

It was concluded that counterterrorism operations of the Nigerian forces also brought to the fore the need for collective efforts among the internal security forces and within the regional forces. Recommendation were made that the Nigerian counterterrorism policy must outline the measures for fighting the threat of Boko Haram in the country future research which could be carried out to determine if the Nigerian counterterrorism policy meets the aim for which it was established.
