Abstract

The research worked on how transnational integration of the riparian nations of the River Niger
can be used to harness fully the multi-dimensional potentialities of the river. The paper addressed
the role of the Niger Basin Authority in achieving the trans-national integration and came up
with methods of harnessing the multifarious benefits derivable from the approach of transnational
integration. From the opinion of the paper the multi-dimensional benefits included
sustainable water development, harmonized hydroelectric power, improved agricultural
productivity, enhanced water transportation, adequate water supply, arbitration of boundary
conflicts and tourism
