Abstract

This article explores the Post-Amnesty Programme (PAP), launched in 2009 following the decision of some insurgent militia leaders in the Niger Delta to ‘drop their weapons in exchange for peace’ with Nigeria's federal government. It addresses the following questions: how has the PAP been shaped by the politics of the Nigerian state, and elite and transnational oil interests? Is the trade-off between peace and justice sustainable when such peace fails to address the roots of the grievances? The article argues that the PAP is an unsustainable state-imposed peacebuilding project to preserve the conditions for oil extraction by local, national and global actors.
