Judolisco:
I've you heard of electric vehicles and electric cookers? There are alternatives to everything
Electric vehicles are just emerging and not wide spread. Crude oil provides fuel for generators that are used in locations that are isolated or lack electricity, ships also use fuel, planes use fuel, your turbines need lubricants and many other bodies in motion, your vehicle shaft needs grease etc. Fuel powered generators serves as an alternative when there is blackout. Electricity is not even constant in your country

BTW, crude oil is not only used for vehicles, it has other uses from its bye products
It is used to produce fertilizer, bitumen, candle wax, lubricants, platics, pharmaceuticals, aviation fuel, polyethylene, grease etc

This guy here must be seriously sick in the brain, how would he not want the allocation to be shared by landmass, they only have landmass that had contributed nothing to the well being of the nation.
That's why I always say one Nigeria is a big joke on us all except the Northerners.

NIGER STATE GOVERNMENT URGES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO CONSIDER LANDMASS IN REVENUE SHARING

The Niger State Government is asking the federal government that landmass should be a consideration in the revenue sharing formula for the country.

The State Commissioner for Finance, Zakari Abubakar, disclosed this in an interview shortly after the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) led by its Federal Commissioner, Barrister Patrick Mgbebu Nworu, met with Governor Abubakar Sani Bello in a closed door meeting at the Government House, Minna.

Abubakar noted that the landmass of the state is the largest in the country with its topography having environmental challenges such as annual flooding, noting that the ecological fund for the State is not sufficient.

The Commissioner appealed that a certain percentage should be added to states that are challenged by environmental hazards.

He said the state is challenged by its size as opposed to the revenue that accrued to it, adding that if the landmass is considered, it will assist the state government to access and tackle the environmental challenges.

“In the consideration of the indices of revenue, the issue of landmass should be given a lot of weight", he said.

The Commissioner also pointed out that the number of Federal Roads criss-crossing the state is another issue that should be factored in the revenue sharing formula by the Federal Government.

The RMAFC Federal Commissioner, Barrister Nworu, said the commission members were in the state for advocacy and sensitization on revenue data and its management.

He said their mission in the state is also to get the stakeholders to know the value and the need to submit transparent as well as verifiable revenue data.

According to him, it is the commission’s mandate to formulate ways to allocate revenue from the federation account to the states and local governments.

You will not think of how to generate money from the land. The only thing you dullards know is federal allocation.

People who aren't fit to be anything more than gate man are being given big offices because of politics.
Clueless set of people

Always waiting for FG Allocation when would the narrative change to looking inward and attracting investment to your state so as to drive revenue generation but its d same story they just sit down nd wait for Abuja mony to and make dem share am Which Way Nigeria

Bad one from Niger state govt it wasnt logical of them atall thats to say states like Benue nd Sokoto would have more allocations than Lagos and its likes. Very rubbish suggestion all man should sort themselves out nd generate wealth for its populace.
