The effect of armed conflicts on agricultural production in Nigeria was
modeled in this research work with the use of Autoregressive Distributed

period of 1960-2017 and obtained from
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin, the statistical
online database of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAOSTAT) of
