Description

The Niger Delta is a region suffering from administrative neglect, crumbling social infrastructure and services, high unemployment, social deprivation, abject poverty, filth and squalor, and endemic conflict

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP's Report 2006)

This book by Mosignor John K. Wangbu may not present the final solution to the cries and crisis of the Niger Delta; but it is a huge contribution towards analytically drawing further attention to the plight of the people and putting in proper perspectives what could have been done several decades ago to ensure that the Niger Delta recovers from age-long environmental abuses and human injustice.
