st very well documented issues. Many challenges related to access to safe drinking water, education and health care have been highlighted by various reports. However, one dimension has remained unaddressed, how the minority status of the Niger-delta peopl
e
 affects their access to education. This one day forum will seek to address key issues related to the following: Does the Minority status of the Niger-delta people affect their right to access education? Is the Niger-delat really an educationally disadvan
taged region? What can be done to improve access to education in the Niger-delta?
