The study argued that terrorism exhibited negative effect on the interaction between   foreign direct investment (FDI) and tax revenue performance in Nigeria from 1987-2016. An econometric model was formulated and hierarchical regression analysis conducted. Jarque-Berra test indicated that the series are normally distributed meaning that the data were robust, appropriate and met goodness of fit standard. The results revealed that the interaction between FDI and Tax revenue performance (-75213.95 and probability 0.000) was negatively moderated by Terrorism with the Adjusted R2 0.9098 and F-stat 95.144. Recommendation was anchored on nationwide security improvement to increase tax returns, tax payment, and foreign investors’ confidence on investment in Nigeria.

The sustainability exhibited by firms in technologically advanced countries could be attributable to the innovativeness of the entrepreneurs, ability to take risks, doggedness, and adaptability to changes inherent in their dynamic capabilities, and flexibility exhibited. Hence, the persistent desire for enterprise to ensure that their businesses survive and achieve sustainability is an impetus for strategic entrepreneurship considerations. Business sustainability as adopted by many organisations from small size to large size in different sectors of economies has resulted to total cost savings, enriched sales growth, and other business benefits (Kim & Lee, 2018). Similarly, Timmermans and Katainen (2018) asserted that business sustainability models show the way towards a sustainable economy through an effective workforce (Phan, 2016). According to Phan (2016), workforce with higher level of education enable firms to improve in their performance as they will be able to work effectively, efficiently and are more loyal to their profession. In the same vein, Amarteifio and Agbeblewu (2018) opined that the performance of business enterprises is reliant on the level of education, competencies and skills of its employees. As such, workers are becoming more educated, and enterprises are casting about to procure, maintain, and absorb knowledgeable workers to develop and sustain their business. Moreover, Dogan (2015); Paek and Lee (2017) asserted that for a firm to ensure it sustenance, strategic entrepreneurship should be institutionalized at individual-level perceptions and corporate opportunities in the form of firm-level strategies which enhances growth. In the same vein, Ukenna, Makinde, Akinlabi, and Asikhia (2019) asserted that strategic entrepreneurship involves organizational efforts to utilize opportunities and create wealth which ensures the firm's sustainability.
