Abstract: The Niger Delta Region of Nigeria has undergone tremendous environmental transitions that might have been studied from the economic, social and political perspectives. What is seemingly lacking is a sustained analysis of the complete psychosocial perspectives of the transitions. Studying the transitions from the psychosocial perspectives becomes even more urgent now because the lives of those negatively, affected by the transitions should matter more than other considerations. Disturbed ecologies trigger off a number of responses that can even put enormous stress on the gross domestic product and this in turn can affect the ease or otherwise with which a national government can deliver on its promises to the people. This study is therefore very important in terms of identifying the psychosocial support that communities in the Niger Delta would need if equity and social justice are to be pursued as principles deserving attention in national resource allocation. Using a qualitative design based partly on ethnographic portraits and content analysis, the study revealed that there has been gross neglect of the psychosocial perspectives on the way government and other agencies doing business in the region have tried to enforce redress in communities whose ecologies have been negatively impacted over the years. Based on the findings, a psychosocial framework has been proposed that could partly but significantly uplift the lives of the people of the Niger Delta Region.
