The study employs ex-post facto design. Three research instruments were used to collect data; Psychological Influence of Boko Haram Insurgency scale which measure anxiety and traumatic stress with respect to Boko haram insurgency; Academic Motivation scale; English language Achievement test and Mathematic achievement test.
