Niger Delta Indigenes To Get Oil Blocks To Douse Tension by comos: 7:51am On Apr 11, 2017 |
To douse tension in the oil-rich Niger Delta, the Federal Government plans to award to indigenes of the region marginal fields’ oil blocks abandoned by the oil majors as being not commercially viable. The plan is in line with the government’s larger objective of reducing major incidents of restiveness to about 90 per cent by next year. Over the years, there have been agitations over oil resource ownership, which have become intense with allegations that about 90 per cent of northerners own the oil blocks awarded in the country. If the plan is implemented, the ownership structure of the nation’s petroleum assets will not only begin to change, but also empower the host region, which has for decades suffered economic deprivation and environmental degradation on account of these resources. The Minister of State, Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, who disclosed this yesterday in Lagos, said the plan was part of the larger “stability incentive scheme” under “a harmonised holistic development plan for the Niger Delta.” Expatiating on the plan, Kachikwu said: “This will include creating stability incentive schemes – jobs, investments, contracting opportunities for the zone, and the use of marginal fields’ allocations to state governments and indigenes to help reduce tension and get buy-in without excluding the rest of the country.” source from Guardian |

What a stupid and dumb idea. How does awarding a handful of people uplift the community? What they should do is to revoke the oil Wells with private individuals. This government is gradually losing it. |

ABANDONED AND NOT COMMERCIAL VIABLE......? What is abandoned is abandoned which this government can never allow to it work. If our government is sincere why can't they give them the ones that are working. This is just another scam! |

Perhaps a couple of Niger Deltans will share say from 10% of the Licenses while the usual culprits will take the remaining 90%. |

Niger Delta indigenes should actually own 90% of the oil blocks. I don't know why they are accepting peanuts for their own resources. Would Fulani agree to take 13% of cow sales money and give 87% to the south? |
