Niger Delta

===Non-violent resistance===
{{See also|Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People}}
Following the civil war, local communities increasingly demanded social and [[environmental justice]] from the federal government, with [[Ken Saro Wiwa]] and the [[Ogoni people|Ogoni tribe]] as the lead figures for this phase of the struggle. Cohesive oil protests became most pronounced in 1990 with the publication of the Ogoni Bill of Rights. Indigenous people protested against the lack of economic development, e.g. schools, good roads, and hospitals, in the region, despite all the oil wealth created. They also complained about environmental pollution and destruction of their land and rivers by foreign oil companies. Ken Saro Wiwa and nine other oil activists from Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) were arrested and killed under [[Sani Abacha]] in 1995.<ref>{{cite thesis |id={{ProQuest|1666393541}} |last1=Strutton |first1=Laine |year=2014 |title=The New Mobilization from Below: Women's Oil Protests in the Niger Delta, Nigeria }}</ref>
