THE Ekiti State government has called on the Federal Government to allocate oil wells to states of the federation to make them more buoyant and less dependent on the Federal Government for survival.

Deputy Governor of the state, Otunba Bisi Egbeyemi said this is necessary to make the states more viable and also for them to meet their obligations. Speaking during an interview on Ekiti State Television (EKTV) monitored at the weekend, Egbeyemi charged the President to strip some Nigerians of their oil blocs and allocate same to the states to ensure development. In his words, “The victory achieved by the President was a victory for Nigeria indeed and the masses who reposed confidence in him and voted him back to office. “This is the time for him to take some bold and radical decisions to make life better for the citizenry and ensure economic recovery. “President Buhari, during his second term, must make the states buoyant. He must take oil wells from individuals and allocate them to the states so that they can pay their workers, build more infrastructures and establish industries. We have some individuals holding oil wells having billions of Naira coming to them every day while majority of Nigerians are living in poverty.”

Every state controlling its resources, is better.

Nigeria is running a Failed System! SHAME

Oh!you mean the state government needs more money to embezzle?na that time we go dey hear say Osun State oil well don dry for the past 8months nothing can ever work in this Nigeria.

This is a nice idea to an extent...

Because na dem papa put the oil wells for naija delta abi? Mitchewww

Is it your oil?

If I slap you eeh

Allocate fire...Look for something in your state and develop

I dont understand how you can allocate oil wells when they are located in specific places which definitely belong to states. There's no basis for allocating oil wells. Rather develop the natural resources found In your state. Entitled much

You mean to all Nigerians?? Thank you!

Buhari will give them to hausa and fulani men.

Do you mean Our oyel peoples property?
You must be mad ☠️�

Allocate oil well yes
but to the owners of the oil.

What? Allocate bayelsa oil to eketi? Are these afonja serious. Shebi na them dey say oil is not important.

Offshore oil belongs to all Nigerian states.

Why not look inwards on how to get more IGR for your state...... Ole.

One of the reasons Atiku and PDP wanted to seize power. They wanted to continue stealing oil money.

No mind the double standard people, I know the bullion van thieves too well

Ok

So what about the 13% derivatives money given to the oil producers nko...no development...our problem is not even about resource allocation but something more deeper than what we think

Sounds nice

Very brilliant idea,......

SMH on this my Yoruba and Notherners... Why cant each state or zone manage thier own natural resources as it is done on the west....

See talk. The ones wey dem dey give them. Them done use am well. So, each state governor can't think of what can bring additional income to the state than to impoverish the people with tax. Nigeria is a joke.

you prefer it to be awarded to individuals like Danjuma and co.

Niger Delta states are the biggest losers in the Nigerian project.
I really pity them because everyone is busy sharing their resources.
With the way Tesla and co are deploying their solar filling stations around the world, it would not take long before crude oil becomes almost useless.
Meanwhile, as traditional fishermen, the Nigerian state has ruined their waters and lands with oil spills.
I am wondering what they will fall back on.

Naija deltans come and defend your oil konga oo

Awon were Dede

Even if the oil well is allocated to states some states will still owe salary.

Let's emulate China abeg, LA loot LA hang


You go see say all of them go comport.
