dc.description.abstractThe Niger Delta region of Nigeria has long been marred by protracted conflict stemming from disputes over resource allocation, environmental degradation, and socio-economic inequalities. The extraction and exploration of oil have led to significant environmental degradation. Oil spills, gas flaring, and deforestation have destroyed ecosystems, negatively impacting the livelihoods of local communities and intensifying the region's ecological crisis. Despite its vast oil wealth, the Niger Delta remains one of Nigeria's poorest regions. High unemployment rates, limited access to quality education, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure exacerbate economic disparities, leading to frustration and disillusionment among the local population. This study explores the critical relationship between post-conflict management and sustainable development in the Niger Delta. It delves into the complex dynamics of post conflict peacebuilding, conflict resolution, and the impact on long-term environmental and social sustainability. The study adopt a mixed methods research design (a combination of quantitative and qualitative research methods), of cross-sectional study on post conflict management and sustainable development in Niger Delta region in Nigeria. The study also used the resource cursed theory to explain the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. Drawing on extensive field research and a comprehensive review of existing literature, this research identifies key issues, including oil related environmental degradation, economic disparities, infrastructural deficiencies, political marginalization, and social unrest. These problems have fueled a cycle of violence, militancy, and insurgency, which, in turn, exacerbates the overall instability. The study concludes the crisis of militancy in the Niger Delta region is increasing at an alarming rate. The study recommends that the government should collaborate with local communities, international organizations, and oil companies to clean up contaminated areas, reforest impacted regions, and establish effective monitoring systems to prevent future environmental damage.
