By Abstract A society cannot prosper in conflict situations where there are fightings, quarrels, distrust, hatred, anger, vandalization, killings among others. People are usually confused, worried and panicked in such a setting leading to serious unrest, underdevelopment, chaos, etc. The cruz of the matter is that the federal government is not doing enough for the area despite it being the treasure bank of the nation. It is very ironic that this area suffers from hunger, epileptic power supply, underemployment and unemployment, poor educational infrastructure, among others. The Niger Deltans also decry the injustice and maltreatment meted to them by multinational companies in the area who explore their oil but leave their farm-lands and environments destroyed due to oil spillage, burning of carbons and other toxics. Consequently, education has suffered greatly in this region and its citizens are worst hit. Due to these happenings, many youths in the area have lost interest in education and prefer to do anything that will give them quick money including bunkering, banditry, kidnapping, violence, stealing, etc. The government thus, will do well by listening to the plight of the Niger Deltans and do what is right for the region before the area becomes uncontrollable. Also, there should be a proper memorandum of understanding (MoU) between government, the multinational companies and leaders of the region in order to facilitate development in the area and reduce growing insecurity. In this way, education in the region will be protected and enhanced for everyone to benefit from.
