This study critically examines the Nigerian Federal Government management of the Niger Delta crisis through its interventionist agencies in order to determine whether they have succeeded in reducing the level of poverty, thereby improving the living and environmental conditions in the oil producing areas of the Niger Delta, Nigeria.enEnvironmental DegradationConflict ManagementDevelopment AgenciesNiger DeltaNigeriaBook chapter
