Book Synopsis Implementation of Oil Related Environmental Policies in Nigeria by : Fidelis Allen
Download or read book Implementation of Oil Related Environmental Policies in Nigeria written by Fidelis Allen and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fidelis Allen situates violent conflict in the Niger Delta in the context of failure by government to effectively implement relevant oil-related environmental policies intended to achieve sustainable development, arguing that oil and environment-related conflicts in the region are reflections of this failure. This failure is premised on the notion that the goal of sustainable development, as clearly outlined in Nigeria’s National Environmental Policy and implied in various other policies, can be pursued through the activities of government, individuals and business organisations that are capable of engendering economic and social progress for communities that depend on the environment for their survival. In fact, available evidence shows that government and oil company activities (or failures to act) actually contribute to the despoliation of the environment in the Niger Delta. Despite existing environmental legislations and guidelines, unsafe waste disposal, flaring of gas and oil spillage remain key features of oil industry operations in the Niger Delta. Not surprisingly, the book highlights a lack of synergy between government and oil company activities, and the attainment of sustainable development as a key goal of the environmental policy of the government. In other words, the activities of the government and oil companies do not sufficiently promote sustainable development. The net consequence is reflected in the frustrations of local justice and environmental movement groups about the political processes which deter (rather than enable) their agitation for improvements in local living conditions and development in the Niger Delta. Over time, those frustrations begin to manifest at different levels, including aggressive and violent behaviours against oil companies and government security agencies for their contributory roles.

This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Environmental Sciences, course: Petroleum Engineering, language: English, abstract: Oil spill is one of the most dangerous side effects of crude oil exploration and production in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. Its resultant effect on the environment, surface body of water, ground water, and biodiversity signifies that if appropriate measures of management are not put in place, the Niger delta's coastal habitat and inland habitat will no longer be habitat able. This paper examines the prevailing policies and procedure for the oil spill contingency planning in the Nigeria and identifies problems associated with the response action to oil spill incidents in the Niger Delta region. It also proffers solution to the problems, drawing on the wealth of experience gained from the oil spill preparedness and response put in place by some government agencies and operators across the globe. Based on this, the paper proposes a Quantitative risk based approach for the oil spill preparedness and response in the Niger Delta. This approach involves the quantification of risk as result of the probability of an event occurring and the impact potential of the event. Hence hazards and risks can be pre-determined and effective strategies could be developed to mitigate the impacts of potential oil spills.

Book Synopsis Nature Under Siege by : INIODU GEORGE-UKPONG
Download or read book Nature Under Siege written by INIODU GEORGE-UKPONG and published by Author House. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expressions such as Environmental terrorism or eco-anarchy may sum up the state of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria, in a bid to explain the indiscriminate cutting of pristine forests, terminal scare of wildlife and extinction of biodiversity, loss of soil fertility and fecundity of rivers, acidified atmosphere, corroded roofs, disease, conflicts, militarization, extra-judicial killing, inflation and collapse of traditional economy, poverty, prostitution, rape, death.... But embedded in the clatter of this semantic analysis are the realities of an abused environment, where uncertainty looms in daylight and grief rules the night; for well over five decades that the region has come under intense ravaging by the oil industry, the effect is evident in the physical, biological and socio-economic environments. Against the background of rich but fragile ecosystems where nature experiments with its components at will; and the picture of a consciously raped ecology, this book examines the lingering environmental crises in Nigerias oil-rich region. With appropriate use of case studies based on practical field experience, and explicit discourse on remedial measures, the book is fashioned to meet the interest of all classes of persons including students of environmental management, policy makers and stakeholders in the Niger Delta environment.
Book Synopsis Oil, Environment and Resource Conflicts in Nigeria by : Augustine Ovuoronye Ikelegbe
Download or read book Oil, Environment and Resource Conflicts in Nigeria written by Augustine Ovuoronye Ikelegbe and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2013 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a critical analysis of how oil and gas exploitation - with huge negative impacts on environment, development, and human security - has constructed a disturbing terrain of civil agitation, state repression, violent conflicts, and insecurity within Nigeria. Drawing on the nature and content of public policy and corporate social responsibility practices, the book interrogates the conflicts' communal and regional dimensions in terms of causality, dynamics, and interventions. In presenting strategies and mechanisms for resolving the diverse dimensions of the resource conflicts, it charts the way towards sustainable development and conflict transformation - two issues which would remain germane to the resource conflict resolution discourse in the specific case of the Niger Delta and beyond.

Book Synopsis Alternative Dispute Resolution in Oil and Gas Industry in Nigeria with Special Reference to the Niger Delta Crisis by : Fatima Motunrayo Lawal
Download or read book Alternative Dispute Resolution in Oil and Gas Industry in Nigeria with Special Reference to the Niger Delta Crisis written by Fatima Motunrayo Lawal and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explore ways of resolving oil and gas disputes especially environmental issues such as oil spillage, gas flaring, effluent discharge etc that create environmental degradation using Alternative Dispute Resolution, ADR mechanisms. The concept of ADR has its origin in African laws, thus is not alien to African people. The study exposes the limitation in environmental litigation through the courts in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. The limitations are as a result of numbers of factors the most significant being the over bearing influence of the multinational corporations; the enormous support they enjoyed from the Federal Government; weak statutory provisions and limitation of the common law in tackling environmental problem. The study adopted the qualitative methodology in the gathering and analysis of it data. The study examined key legislations on environment guiding the operation of the Nigerian oil industry, case laws and common law principles applicable to the environment and environmental litigation in the Nigerian context. The study also gathered data through the instrumentality of semi-structured interview and focus group discussion with community leaders, environmental activists, alternative disputes resolution practitioners and employees in selected oil multinational corporations in Nigeria. The core problem that informed this study is the examination of the problem of environmental degradation arising from the operation of the oil industry and the associated crisis of neglect, marginalization, loss of livelihood and poverty in the Niger Delta. The core objective of the research is to explore how environmental degradation associated with the operation of the Nigerian oil and gas industry in the Niger Delta has generated endemic systemic conflict and to examine the efficacy of the various initiatives taken by the Nigerian State and the oil multinationals in resolving environmental based and related conflicts in the oil producing areas. The significance of the study lies in its attempt at highlighting the importance of ADR as the most amicable, economical and speedy way of settling disputes that often arise in the course of the operational activities of the oil and gas industry in the Niger Delta. The point being that such disputes deserves to be quickly and speedily resolved via the instrumentality of ADR in order to avoid the destabilization that might arise through long drawn court litigation. The literature confirmed grave environmental devastation in the Niger Delta and the inability of adversarial litigation in ensuring environmental justice in Nigeria. The findings show that there is increasing incidence of disputes that arise out of environmental concern between communities and companies in the region. These disputes are made worse by the failing inability of the court system to deliver environmental justice to claimants in the area. This failing inability is as a result of corrupt practices, obnoxious government policies, fraudulent practices among community leaders, unruly behaviour of multinational oil companies, attempts at avoiding culpability through dubious legal means among other issues. This has hindered efforts at achieving sustainable peaceful community-companies relations. This in turn has led to confrontation between host communities and companies over the control of natural resources and sustainable use of the environment. According to findings of this study litigation has failed the people in the Niger Delta in their struggle for justice. This is also corroborated by existing literature on the issue. Hence ADR is therefore, considered as the best alternative nonadversarial methods of resolving environmental and other related disputes in the Nigerian oil and gas industry in addition to the use of faith based principle if properly implemented.

Book Synopsis Oil and Insurgency in the Niger Delta by : Cyril Obi
Download or read book Oil and Insurgency in the Niger Delta written by Cyril Obi and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2011-02-10 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent escalation in the violent conflict in the Niger Delta has brought the region to the forefront of international energy and security concerns. This book analyses the causes, dynamics and politics underpinning oil-related violence in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. It focuses on the drivers of the conflict, as well as the ways the crises spawned by the political economy of oil and contradictions within Nigeria's ethnic politics have contributed to the morphing of initially poorly coordinated, largely non-violent protests into a pan-Delta insurgency. Approaching the issue from a number of perspectives, the book offers the most up-to-date and comprehensive analysis available of the varied dimensions of the conflict. Combining empirically-based and analytic chapters, it attempts to explain the causes of the escalation in violence, the various actors, levels and dynamics involved, and the policy challenges faced with regard to conflict management/resolution and the options for peace. It also examines the role of oil as a commodity of global strategic significance, addressing the relationship between oil, energy security and development in the Niger Delta.
