Abstract:
This paper is a bold attempt to investigate the impact of insecurity on the challenges of economic development in Anambra state with a focus in Ihiala local government area. This study is anchored on the theory of Relative deprivation theory which was propounded by J.C Davies (1975) in his work "Towards a Theory of Revolution." Survey design was adopted due mainly to the nature of the problem under investigation. Data for the study were generated from both primary and secondary sources. After careful analysis of data relevant to the study, it was found out that insecurity has not significantly affected investments in Ihiala local government area. The paper recommendsthat government should evolve policies and programmes capable of promoting national consciousness and national loyalty as it will help to eliminate the centrifugal factors that are always at work to tear the country apart.
