Description The study examined the social effects of oil production in Gbaran Ubie. It examined the social, economic and environmental effects of oil production. It also highlighted the different strategies that the project used to tackle the challenges of communal disturbances which is the usual response from host communities whenever their source of livelihoods is tampered with. We used
the role theory to explain why there was no report of violence in the project community. Finally, recommendations were made which include that the oil companies should look beyond the present and train personnel on new technologies such as cleaning water ways and reclaiming vegetation.
