Abstract: The paper diagnoses one among the very many challenges facing Lake Chad Basin which is water insecurity that has plagued not only the basin, but escalated to the entire north east sub-region of Nigeria with damning food security consequences to the country and adjoining countries of Chad, Niger and Cameroun. The Boko Haram insecurity plaguing the region has further worsened the water and food security situation. Indeed the water body has diminished by about 90% since the 1960s due to overuse and climate change effects. The paper postulates a number of steps to remediate the problem.
