dc.description.abstractThe Boko Haram insurgents ravaged the economic activities of the entire north east Nigeria and particularly Adamawa and Borno states in worst situation. Valuable lives and properties were lost and damaged. The Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) suffered an unquantified loss of properties and human resources as a result of the insurgency. Consequently this led to loss of profits, business operations, business cessation and jobs. Therefore, this study examines the effects of insurgency on the outsourcing practice in SMEs of Adamawa and Borno states Nigeria. However the study is a qualitative exploratory in which focus group discussion was conducted with the internally displaced owners/managers of the affected SMEs at Yola Internal Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp. The study reveals that the Boko Haram insurgency activities affects virtually all SMEs in Borno State capital Maiduguri and its environs and also hampered business activities in Madagali, Michika, Mubi north, Mubi south, Maiha, Hong and Gombi Local government areas of Adamawa state. Consequently, outsourcing practice is insignificantly negatively affected by the insurgency. Outsourcing vendors lost their clients within that states under study virtually in MSEs. Thus, this study recommends that government should put stringent measures to curtail this menace. Furthermore, the need to address the social vice in other to rescue the economic down turn of this region before it escalates to the nation at large. This should be prioritized instead of playing political games and looting unaccounted security vote monies through deception, self-interest and guile of political office holdersen_US
