dc.description.abstractThe Niger Delta, a resource rich area of immense ecological significance, has long been plagued by environmental degradation, social unrest, and human rights violations stemming from extractive industries' activities. This thesis presents an analysis of the dynamics surrounding natural resource governance and environmental justice in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, with a primary focus on legislative frameworks. This thesis examines existing literature and critical review of relevant laws and policies, shedding light on the multifaceted challenges hindering effective governance and equitable distribution of benefits from natural resources. The historical background of resource exploitation in the Niger Delta and the development of governance frameworks across time are both examined in this study. This research reveals the lived reality of environmental deterioration, displacement, and socioeconomic marginalization that these people experience by looking at recorded interviews, surveys, and case studies. In order to address the underlying causes of governance shortcomings and advance environmental justice in the Niger Delta, the thesis ends with some recommendations. These recommendations include community empowerment plans, institutional capacity building initiatives, and legislative changes that support openness, involvement, and sustainable development. Keywords: Niger Delta, Resource Governance, Environmental Justice, Oil and Gas, Failures. Word count: 194
