Nigeria is ranked sixth in the world as the largest crude oil and gas producer. It has a history of well over 50 years of oil and gas exploration and exploitation, but for many of the area’s inhabitants, this discovery has brought a curse rather than blessing to the Niger Delta region, which contributes about 80% of the nation’s wealth .In the past half a century, the area had been left devastated by unprecedented environmental degradation occasioned by oil activities. This dire situation has led to local unrest, spearheaded by the likes of Isaac Adaka Boro and Ken Saro -Wiwa in the late 1960s and 1990s, respectively, who campaigned vigorously, albeit peacefully, for a better deal for the region. This movement eventually deteriorated into armed struggle, obstructing the national economic and social developments.The paper discusses the dilemma of the militancy in the Niger Delta on sustainable development of Nigeria. It also proffers strategies for achieving sustainable development. The study utilizes the secondary data collection that was generated from journals, magazines, official publications, and the Internet. Findings are descriptively analyzed. The central argument is that militancy in the Niger Delta affects sustainable development in Nigeria.
