The Department of Political Science at the Niger Delta University is hosting the conference “Natural Resource, Security and Development in the Niger Delta” in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria, on 8-11 March 2010.
This is a follow-up conference to the March 2008 meeting “the Nigerian State, Oil Industry and the Niger Delta”. The conference, organized in collaboration with the Center for Applied Environmental Research (CAER), Department of Geosciences, University of Missouri-Kansas - City, United States of America, was attended by over 100 scholars and stakeholders, including former Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Gen. Yakubu Gowon (Rtd) GCON.
One of the significant outcomes of the conference was the realization that there are neglected themes in the Niger Delta crisis that need to be addressed in order to achieve peace.
