Corporate Social Responsibility of Oil Multinationals in Nigeria. Human Rights, Sustainable Development and the Law

More about the book

Decades of oil exploitation in the Niger Delta have resulted in severe water and air pollution, exacerbating the region's existing vulnerabilities. In Nigeria, marked by weak democratic institutions and economic challenges, this environmental degradation has fueled discontent and violence against both the government and oil companies. The collaboration between these entities prioritizes profit over the rights and livelihoods of local communities, effectively marginalizing them from oil development initiatives and hindering their sustainable development.
