    (7th International Conference on Education and Social Sciences 20-22 January, 2020 - DUBAI, 2020-01) Ogungbade G.O; Duruji M. M.; Folarin S. F.
    The unearthing of crude oil in Nigeria and its subsequent effects on the nation's growth has further underpinned the contradictions of the "resource curse theory". This study aims at assessing the impact on the measures put in place by the international oil corporations (IOCs) on women livelihood in Ogulagha Island of Delta State, Nigeria. This paper reveals that the mitigation measures (skill acquisition, financial support, employment opportunities, provision of social amenities, regular clean up and provision adequate health facilities) put in place by IOCs have no significant impact on women livelihood in Ogulagha Island, Delta State of Nigeria. This paper recommends that more research that is context specific with one on one interviews need to be conducted to actually know which measures can enhance the women livelihood in Ogulagha Island of Delta State, Nigeria.

    NATURAL RESOURCE GOVERNANCE, ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE AND HUMAN SECURITY IN NIGERIA
    (Journal of Management & Technology Vol. 24, n. 2,, 2024) Osimen Goddy U.; Chidozie Felix C.; Oladoyin Anthony M.; Chukwudi Celestina E.
    Globally, there have been several discussions about the connection or relationship between environmental change, natural resources, and security. Aside from the detrimental effects it has on livelihood in the majority of the world's current regions, many academics have identified environmental change, or climate change, as one of the primary causes of conflict and insecurity. Thus, this study's main goal is to investigate how natural resources, environmental change, and human security are related in Nigeria's Niger-Delta region. For this study, a qualitative approach to data collecting was used, utilizing journals, books, conference proceedings, and online resources. The study's theoretical foundation was provided by the resource curse hypothesis and the frustration-aggression theory. Content and descriptive analyses were performed on the acquired data. Nonetheless, the analysis showed that natural resource governance, environmental change, and security are all symbolically related. However, some of the advocates in the fight for resource management continued to act avaricious, notwithstanding genuine incidents of carelessness and negligence that initially gave rise to the grievance. Because of the significant effects that inadequate resource governance and environmental problems have on the region's peace and security, it is important to recognize that addressing these challenges is not just vital but also essential. The report suggests that while addressing resource-related conflicts, the government give humanitarian assistance equal weight with upholding the law. The study's policy implications assert that policymakers worldwide can use it to inform how policies are administered.
