Abstract

This work examines the Government's Amnesty Programme and other strategies adopted in the Niger Delta since 1958 as a conflict management mechanism to tackle the conflict in the region and how to sustain the amnesty-induced peace. The causes of failure of previous strategies were highlighted as lesson for implementers of the peace building programmes. No one knows to which extent the Government is sincere in addressing issues of security and socio-economic reconstruction in the region. Findings revealed that there is no legal framework on which the current amnesty and peace building programme is hinged instead the mode of implementation has been tied to key political and militant leaders with no clearly established institutions on which it is embedded. The study recommended that stakeholders should collaborate to tackle the question of massive socioeconomic reconstruction, and confront the challenge of environmental despoliation, poverty and unemployment head on with a "Marshalltype" intervention.
