Abstract

The conditions of security and development in Nigeriaâ€™s Niger Delta have been deplorable since the discovery of crude oil in the region in the late 1950s. The result is the fragile peace orchestrated in the region. Although the concept of human security has been adopted by the United Nations since 2005, its dimensions have been seriously undermined in the region as a result of the politics of oil in the Niger Delta region. This work sought to analyze the linkage between Human Security, Peace and Development in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The theory used to underpin the argument is the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) with its three pillars which empower the state and the international community to protect its citizens from acts perceived as ethnic cleansing. This paper is a case study which adopted a qualitative approach. The study noted that human security, peace and development are inseparable concepts in any given society, thus given the strategic importance of the Niger Delta region to Nigeria and the international community those conditions that have deepened poverty, unemployment, brewed underdevelopment and fear should be urgently addressed by policy and action.
