The Nigerian oil industry gave the oil producing communities in the Niger Delta some expectation of employment opportunities, social infrastructural facilities and improvement in living conditions. But in employment non-indigenes far exceeds those from the oil producing areas; the same applies to contractors. Social amenities leave much to be desired. Oil company workers living in host communities disregard the people's moral values. There is no wonder then that social conflicts vary and are rampant. This paper examines and analyses these conflicts, and offers some remedial measures based on the author's field experience in baseline and post-impact assessment surveys in the delta, his participation in a "Technical workshop on analysis and action planning" for the Niger Delta Environmental Survey (NDES), and above all in his activities as a Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) trainer and field supervisor in the first two phases of the NDES. |
