BACKGROUND OF STUDY Nigeria, the most populous black nation in western Africa is popularly known for her dominant source of revenue, crude oil with oil revenue as the main stay of the Nigerian economy, volatility in the price of oil are to a large extent of prime interest to economist. According to Adeniyi et al (2004), exchange rate appreciate in response to rising oil prices and depreciates in response to falling oil prices in oil producing exporting countries while the reverse is the case in oil importing

Energy plays an important role in the national security of any given country. Threat to energy security can also result to economic and other threat which can lead to physical damage to the energy infrastructure (such as pipeline vandalization), natural events, insurgency or warfare. The political and economic instability caused by crisis and other factors such as strike action can also prevent the proper functioning of the energy industry in the country. In recent years, new threat to energy security
Physical changes in the hydrological cycle (driven by both climate change and human modification of the systems) in the case of reduced rainfall and/or increased evaporation would disconnect rivers from their floodplains and wetlands and slow water velocity in riverine systems, converting them into a chain of connected reservoirs or pools. These in turn impact the migratory
The Niger Delta – the geographical heart of oil production in Nigeria has been a breeding ground for militants and ‚impoverished ethnic groups‛ for some years now. This is because the discovery of oil and its exploitation has ushered in a miserable, undisciplined, decrepit, and corrupt form of ‘petro-capitalism’ which produces conflict accelerating factors. Devastated by the ecological costs of oil spillage and the highest gas flaring rates in the world, the Niger Delta has become a centre of violence
very bad and the capacity for food production is low. Huge areas of land cannot support food crop production in some countries while in some others, rainfall is so low and erratic that crop yields are not only low but also highly unstable. On the demand side, food security is affected by household incomes and economic assets (including stocks of animals), prices, demographic factors such as number, gender and age composition of households, and socio-cultural factors like health and sanitation status

The ever increasing demand for food and other basic needs has put a lot of pressure on the plant genetic resources (PGR) and diversity particularly in agricultural sector in terms of addressing the accompanied challenges associated with increasing crop productivity. The utilization of PGR in agriculture has not only brought about profound changes in the crop productivity and quality, but has also opened up newer and unforeseen potential vistas including improvement of novel traits by domestication
