The United Nations has estimated the damage caused by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria since 2009 stands at $9 billion.
The terrorist group, in its attempt to create an Islamist state in the West African nation, has been destroying homes, schools, bridges and roads, according to the United Nations.
The President of the U.N. Security Council Matthew Rycroft estimates the damage suffered by Borno State alone to be $6.2 billion.
Boko Haram has waged an eight-year campaign in Nigeria, killing thousands of people and displacing millions from their homes.
Rycroft said that the U.K. had pledged to contribute more money to help tackle the crisis that has struggled to attract donor funding.
The Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari made destroying Boko Haram one of his main agenda in his campaign pledges.
While the militants have continually been pegged back and driven from their strongholds, they still launch attacks across West Africa.
A unified West African army was created in 2016 to battle the militants with an aim of eventually crushing the group completely.
