Niger Delta Environmental Issues
Environmental issues in the Niger Delta are caused by its petroleum industry. The delta covers 20,000 km2 (7,700 sq mi) within wetlands of 70,000 km2 (27,000 sq mi) formed primarily by sediment deposition. Home to 20 million people and 40 different ethnic groups, this floodplain makes up 7.5% of Nigeria’s total land mass. It is the largest wetland and maintains the third-largest drainage basin in Africa. The Delta’s environment can be broken down into four ecological zones: coastal barrier islands, mangrove swamp forests, freshwater swamps, and lowland rainforests. Fishing and farming are the main sources of livelihoods for majority of her residents.

This SR story portrays a very sad situation about leadership that we have not been
able to manage in the Niger Delta Region and the in Ijaw land in particular. Why couldn’t
the youths express their displeasure about the lack of consultation to PANDEF leadership
in private rather than making these very un-savory comments in the open?
