The 4th Niger Delta Alternatives Convergence (NDAC) holds on Monday, 12 May 2025, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State,
This convergence will see a multi sectoral examination of oil and gas pollution in the Niger Delta and also highlight the environmental assessments that have been conducted in the region to date.
According to the conveners of the event, “We believe that reviewing the assessments and correlating their findings and recommendations would expose the depth of degradation and environmental assault on Niger Delta communities, as well as map pathways for coordinated actions to remediate the impacts of hydrocarbon pollution and ensure that devious divestment moves are denounced.”
The Niger Delta Alternatives Convergence (NDAC) was established in 2022 by leaders, activists, communities and scholars after a period of careful examination of the socio-ecological realities of the region.
The process took stock of the impacts of nearly 7 decades of natural resource extraction in the region, and how it had shaped the existential realities of he people.
Established as a Pan-Niger Delta forum for conversation, strategic decision-making, and action, NDAC produced the Niger Delta Manifesto for Socio-Ecological Justice.
The manifesto has been endorsed by thousands of people from within and outside the region, including leaders, representatives of various ethnic groups, scholars and traditional institutions.
The Manifesto is a blueprint for addressing the concerns of the Niger Delta region.
