The North Eastern region of Nigeria is fast becoming a theater of skirmishes and full-blown war between government forces that wish to keep the country as one, indivisible and secular nation and those who wish to transform it into a theocratic state. Another strong opinion has it that the crisis was hijacked by political warlords that are perpetuating the conflict for political reasons. Whichever theoretical assumption is alleged, it cannot be disputed that the crises is sustained by the ever increasing army of jobless youth that are ready to be engaged for whatever purpose as long as it can fetch a means of livelihood. The paper assumes that one of the basic functions of government is to provide a favorable economic environment for citizens to thrive and contribute meaningfully to the development of the nation. This paper is an attempt to assess the relationship between job creation, poverty reduction and conflict resolution. The paper uses documentary analysis to examine how job creation in North Eastern Nigeria can reduce poverty in the area and reduce the possibility of escalating violence.It recommends among others, that governments at all levels should prioritize job creation and poverty alleviation programs in the region through government and non-governmental agencies. It also recommends strengthening the private sector to complement the efforts of government in employment generation.
