Post-Conflict Peacebuilding and Environmental Governance: Implications for Peace and Security in the Niger Delta Region

Abstract
It is a short note to the editor identifying the post-conflict peacebuilding crisis in the Niger Delta region, including the re-emergence of armed groups in the region, adoption of alternative strategies for survival such as illegal oil bunkering, sea piracy, kidnapping, and other criminal activities. In the face of the challenges bedevilling the current peacebuilding efforts, this note suggests as a matter of urgency, environmental justice and governance that would help address the roots of conflict in the region. It argues for local initiatives that effectively combine inclusive and participatory forms of governance with environmentally sensitive grassroot development.
