Process Niger Delta Community Councils

Niger Delta Community Councils are grassroots governance bodies formed by local communities in southern Nigeria to manage land, waterways, and collective affairs in the context of oil extraction and environmental degradation. Operating through assemblies and customary leadership, these councils coordinate community decision-making, environmental defense, and negotiations with external actors, representing a form of popular self-governance and territorial commons management.
