The Northern State of Nigeria generally has been plagued by escalating conflicts which several scholars have attributed the causes to communal, poverty, ethnicity, religion, economic and or political. Issues that do not warrant people engaging in senseless killings and destruction of life and property have emerged with devastating consequences. Poverty is the main causes of conflicts witnessed in Northern part  over time.

That the political elites manipulate these poor people and escalates most conflicts. The study therefore recommended that poverty must be addressed first as a human security measure in order to prevent, reduce and or solve the problem of elite manipulation of the people. Similarly, that conflict in northern part can be reduced drastically through good governance and justice from the part of political leaders to all the people irrespective of tribe, religion or creed. The government at the Local and State level should create employment opportunities for the bulk unemployed youths, human capital development, adequate infrastructural development, and that the people of Northern Nigeria must unite under a single purpose to face their leaders headlong and vote out corrupt political leaders. They should also insist that corrupt political leaders are tried in a competent court of law.
