Abstract

The oil rich Niger Delta has been engulfed in crisis in recent times due to local resistance activities by militant groups. Militant insurgency in the region which sustains the nationâ€™s economy rides on the groundswell of popular anger linked to decades of marginalization, repression, environmental degradation, hand-scrabble poverty and relative deprivation, occasioned by the actions of the Nigerian state and international petro-business operating in the area. The MDGs is a global initiative aimed at reducing poverty and improving the standard of living of man, among others in society. The paper adopted documentary method and secondary data to source information. The secondary data was obtained through published and unpublished sources such as textbooks, news papers, journals, magazines, internet source among others. This paper argues that, the drive to actualize the MDGs in the Niger Delta has suffered various setbacks due to security hiccups and low implementation of programmes occupying the front burner. The paper concludes that, though the amnesty programme for militants is designed to herald security of lives and property in the volatile region, the politicization of the implementation process will invariably continue to frustrate the actualization of the MDG goals in the area and Nigeria at large.
