This economics text is certainly not boring! Youth Restiveness in the Niger Delta has led to kidnapping, hostage taking, and other crimes committed in the region that have resulted in terrible world press and a monumental loss of revenue for Nigeria.
The Niger Delta Region of Nigeria has been thrust into international prominence because of its rich natural resources, including oil and gas, which have played a large part in discussions about the region and its sustainable environment. The book explores the general background of Nigeria's oil and gas resource infrastructure, as well as their effects on the Nigerian economy.
The book discusses in detail the resources of the region, including its renewable and non-renewable ones. The root causes of youth restiveness are also discussed, and the authors believe there are some benefits deriving from restiveness. These include closing the income inequality gap in the region and improvements in Nigeria's socio-economics.
