The Niger Delta region of Nigeria is the world’s third largest wetland. Its’ rich crude oil deposit has attracted several oil and gas Multinational Corporations, whose exploitative and explorative activities have rendered its hitherto viable economy, unproductive. The prevailing high incidence of kidnapping, pipeline vandalism and many other social disorders, which are believed to be poverty and unemployment induced, are direct consequences of the environmentally destructive activities of these Corporations. This study is aimed at determining the readiness of vulnerable Niger Delta youths to accept gainful employment and entrepreneurship empowerment, which were considered as alternatives that could possibly resuscitate their economies. Questionnaires were used to gather data from 900 resident respondents. Analysis revealed that the youths were willing to eschew violence and pursue legitimate means of livelihood. It was recommended that government in collaboration with the Multinational Corporations should offer the youths opportunities for entrepreneurship empowerment and gainful employment.
