Abstract
ABSTRACTThis work is an assessment of the Amnesty Programme through Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration (DDR) for Niger Delta militants and its effect on national security. The objective is to determine whether the program increased crude oil production, reduced kidnapping in the region, and whether it failed to reduce oil pipeline vandalization. Utilizing the theory of post-colonial state, the study employed a survey method and relied on questionnaires. Data were analyzed using percentages. The study argues that there is no significant difference between the Amnesty Programme and Niger Delta crises. Findings revealed that the relative peace in the region has undoubtedly resulted from the diligent implementation of the federal government's Amnesty Programme for militants in the Niger Delta. Based on the above, the study recommends that the federal government comprehensively tackle the underlying economic and social problems of the Niger Delta region to prevent a relapse into crises.
