Oil, Gender and Unemployment: Social Issues in the Niger Delta

The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is blessed with an abundance of oil, but cursed with social issues that threaten the very fabric of its communities. This book delves into the complex relationships between oil extraction especially in Ogoni Land, gender dynamics, and unemployment, exposing the devastating consequences of neglect and mismanagement.


Through rigorous research and personal narratives, the author sheds light on the struggles of women, youth, and marginalized groups in the Niger Delta. The book explores how the oil industry's dominance has led to widespread unemployment, environmental degradation, and social dislocation.

With a focus on gender, the book reveals how women bear the brunt of the region's social and economic challenges, from poverty and domestic violence to limited access to education and healthcare.
