Abstract

The study examined Resource Control Agitation and Political Instability in the SouthSouth Region of Nigeria. Conflict Theory was adopted as the theoretical framework. The population of the study was Eighty-Six (86) members of the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND). The Sample Size of the study was SeventyThree (73). Twelve (12) Questionnaire items were drawn from Four (4) Research Questions. And the questionnaires were administered directly to the sampled respondent using the method of Telephonic Interviewing and emailing. The statistical tools used were frequency and percentage. Findings revealed that the ascertainment of resource control will spark development in the South-South region and give the state governments the volition to develop the resources in their states, thereby deemphasizing oil as the main foreign income earning. It is therefore recommended that the government and all stakeholders should embrace the drive for restructuring and equitable distribution of resources for development as it is the road map towards true federalism.
