79% of Nigeria's urban population live in slums. 'Slum clearance', is leading to mass displacement and social dislocation.
Women in the Niger Delta suffer from many forms of discrimination and exclusion.
Essential services such as power, sanitation, healthcare and primary education have not been delivered to communities.
Despite the enormous energy reserves of the Niger Delta, government and private enterprise meet less than 10 per cent of the energy needs of the region.
Gas flared every day in the Niger Delta is equivalent to the daily gas consumption of Brazil. This multi-billion dollar waste not only leaves communities without effective energy solutions, but is the single, biggest contributor to CO2 emissions in Africa.
Poor operating practices, weak law enforcement and an active illegal oil economy contribute to an average of 1600 oil spills a year in the Niger Delta.
