The study made use of secondary and primary data. The study combined the elite theory and the frustration aggression theories as its theoretical framework in explaining why conflict and insecurity still persist in the Niger Delta region. Analysis was done qualitatively through content analysis. Findings from the study revealed that several socio- economic and political factors account for youth unrest and insecurity in the Niger Delta region. These factors include: marginalization and exclusion from the oil and gas sector, poor implementation of the federal governments amnesty programme in the Niger Delta, unemployment, poor governance at the state and local government levels etc. It is the position of this paper that massive investment in human capacity especially the youths will go a long way in curbing youth unrest and insecurity in Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta region.","PeriodicalId":471399,"journal":{"name":"Social Science and Law Journal of Policy Review and Development Strategies","volume":"11 1","pages":"130-144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://doi.org/10.48028/iiprds/ssljprds.v11.i1.11","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147882993","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
