Resource Control and Youth Restiveness
in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria

Resources Control and Youth restiveness in the Niger Delta is a contentious issue in Nigeria. The
exploitation and exploration of petroleum in the Niger Delta is posing great threat to the life of the
people. Hence, the peoples reaction in the form of hostage taking, vandalization of oil pipelines which
results in destruction of farmlands, pollution of water, fi sh, etc., as well as reduction of revenue from oil.
Even with oil coming from Niger Delta, the area remained poorly developed in terms of infrastructural
facilities. This paper highlights the above issues as well as Niger Delta agitation for 50 % derivation
as it was in 1963 and 1966 in the era of cocoa. The paper, however, recommends that in order to curb
Youth restiveness, there must be a mechanism through which the issue of resource control will be
resolved amicably. This would be through a round table discussion between the Federal State, Local
government, full representation of the oil companies and their surrogates abroad and the masses,
especially the youths in Niger Delta, aggressive development of the areas to provide infrastructure,
provision of technological education for the youths and subsequent employment.
Keywords: Resource control, Youth restiveness, Oil exploration.
Introduction
Resource control has become a contentious
issue in Nigeria to the extent that it dominated
discussions in the National Reform Conference
held in 2005. The work-out of the southern south
delegates from the conference on Tuesday June
14, 2005 is an indication that the unity of the
country is being threatened by the issue. The
people of the southern south are nursing the
mind of a betrayed region within the confi nes
of Nigeria; where they are supposed to be a
part. They not only fell cheated but also felt
dejected, as there is no remorse feelings by their
fellow Nigerians from other parts of the country

(mfyai@yahoo.com). The parochial view of most
Nigerians is that they have nothing to do with
other regions problems no matter the pains and
agony the people are passing through. Thus, there
is need to have reorientation of our past feelings
concerning our fellow citizens, knowing that the
unity of the country cannot be compromised for
anything else. However, it is also worthy to note
that the image from the seventies has been that of
a continent of confl ict and violence. Thus, Africa
stands out as a continent of uniquely violent and
confl ictual politics, a continent where force and
confl ict make the everyday life of
the people
(Chabal, 1994). The argument here is that Nigeria
