Nigeria: Gowon's 1969 Decree Took Away Rights of oil producing state


By Omon-Julius Onabu
Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta State has lamented the 1969 introduction of the oil decree by the military government of General Yakubu Gowon, which took away the rights of the oil procuring states to the benefits but vested same in the then Federal Military Government.

He said it was particularly painful that the Federal Government removed the rights and benefits accruing from oil and gas exploration and production whereas the oil producing communities and the states were left to bear the burden of devastated environment, pollution and other negative consequences of oil and gas exploitation

introducing Unitary government by Aguyi Johnson Ironsi does not mean he take away the right of any region to control there resources. Ironsi never abolish regional government but Gowon did, are you myopic that you can't dig out information with your phone online.
