Borno Gov To Buhari: Give N/east 13% Oil Derivation by walton1(m): 7:47am On May 19, 2015 |
The Borno State governor, Kassim Ibrahim, yesterday appealed to the president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd, to allocate 13 per cent of petroleum revenue to the North East region which has been ravaged by insurgency when he assumes office. The governor, who made the demand known in a paper which he is expected to deliver today at Day-Two of a conference organised by the Savannah Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy and Development (SCDDD), asserted that the current insurgency was the direct outcome of the inequality in oil revenue distribution. The governor, at the conference which has the theme, ‘Post-2015 Elections Conference on Security and Governance Challenges in Africa’s Largest Democracy’, urged the incoming All Progressive Congress (APC) government to immediately recommend the allocation of at least 13 % of revenue derived from petroleum resources in addition to the usual monthly location to the states in north eastern Nigeria to ameliorate their plight. The governor’s position was contained in a paper entitled ‘Holistic Approach for the Reconstruction and Rehabilitation of the North East Nigeria Region Ravaged by Terrorism and Insurgency: The National and International Policy Options/ Perspectives’, which is to be delivered at the event by his representative and secretary, Borno Elders Forum, Dr Bulama Mala Gubio, expressed regret that the petroleum deposit in the North East had been left untapped. Governor Shettima also called for the establishment of a special intervention programme to salvage the region from socio-economic deprivation on the one hand and environmental degradation on the other, which, he said, would lead to desertification and drought with their consequent imbalance in ecological dynamics. “Importantly, it is necessary for the federal government to recommend the allocation of at least 13 % of revenue derived from petroleum resources in addition to the usual monthly allocation to states in north eastern Nigeria in order to improve equity in the share of resources. Moreover, there is untapped petroleum in the North East. This will go a long way in improving national security, since inequality in the allocation of resources is one of the most significant factors in the current raging insurgency affecting the region and threatening to engulf the outside world. “Therefore, we are calling for the establishment of a special intervention programme to salvage the region from socio-economic deprivation on one hand and environmental degradation on the other hand which leads to desertification and droughts with the consequent imbalance in ecological dynamics. It is our firm belief that this will go a long way to address the current socio-economic upheavals experienced in the region,” he noted. Shettima lamented that the North East region, particularly Borno State, was facing dire environmental and humanitarian crises requiring urgent intervention and stressed that such intervention would include rehabilitation, stabilization and re- integration of the victims to normal life, re- building of broken down infrastructures, as well as re-integrating the insurgents back to normal society through proper education and debriefing. The governor, in the paper, called on Nigerians to join hands to rebuild the region, noting that, at the moment, the states of the region were facing their fate alone. Shettima called on the SCDDD to highlight the plight of the states of the region to the world with a view to eliciting assistance. …APC’s victory laid June 12 ghost to rest – Kingibe Meanwhile, chairman of the conference, and former vice presidential candidate of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP) which won the annulled June 12, 1992, presidential election, Ambassador Babagana Kingibe, in his opening remarks, said APC’s victory over the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the April general election had finally laid the ghost of the annulled June 12 election to rest. According to Kingibe, Nigerians who were already fed up with the misrule and non- performance of the PDP spoke in one voice and acted in unity to remove the party from power. “In Nigeria, we are living in the very exciting, challenging and interesting times. The divisiveness was an effort made by the political party but it was rejected by Nigerians and the other party that resolved not react accordingly. Efforts at dividing our people will not succeed. People are united in requesting democracy and freedom. “For me, for the first time since 1992, perhaps Nigerians have purged themselves of the ghost of June 12. Several paradigms manifested. Perhaps now, the ghost of June 12 can rest due to the effort made by all through these years of trials and tribulations,” he said. Keynote speaker at the event, Major- General Ishola Williams (retd) called for the scrapping of the appellations of ‘Excellency’, ‘distinguished’ and ‘honourable’ ascribed to elected officials and other public servants, saying that most of those officials do not merit the titles. According to him, Nigerian remains one the poorest countries in the world yet most of the officials live in opulence. While lamenting the neglect of huge volumes of reports, whitepapers and other documents, he said, should aid government to improve the socio economic situation of the people, he called on the incoming government to immediately dust and implement them. Chairman and Founder of SCDDD, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari, pointed out that the general goal and objectives of the two-day event was to interface with representatives of the international community in Nigeria, leading Nigerian scholars, media experts, party leaders, researchers in the fields of defence, security, extremism and terrorism, economic and political governance, international monetary and financial institutions and other relevant stakeholders, to debate on strategies that would best address issues of security and governance in Nigeria and her immediate neighbours, the sub-region and Africa. The event attracted highly influential Nigerians and members of the diplomatic community who played various roles in ensuring that the last general election was peaceful, free, fair and transparent. |

'The Borno State governor, Kassim Ibrahim,yesterday appealed to the president-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari (retd, to allocate 13 per cent of petroleum revenue to the North East region which has been ravaged by insurgency when he assumes office'. Are we responsible for Boko Haram having a field day there? You folks said that there is nothing wrong with child marriage, so by the time a girl is 15yrs old she is already a wife and a mother. How many of these children born by these child-mothers get educated? Their female children also get married off as their mothers were while the boys become the Almajiris who are empty minds waiting to be brainwashed as they have nothing to look forward to and become easy recruits for Boko Haram. When they blow off your communities because for them it is their own way of playing Playstation, you now feel you are entitled to be allocated resources gotten from a people who abhor child-marriage and love education! What a hypocrisy! 3 Likes |

The north expects the ND to pay reparations for their own home grown lunacy which they tirelessly supported and defended when a minority Christian was President. Why won't they make such outlandish demands when even the president-elect called for amnesty for the lunatic bokos and even defined any attempt at curtailing the insurgency "a fight against the north"? This will not happen because we will resist to the fullest. Buhari should source for another revenue to compensate his boko militia. 1 Like |

This country is heading for total balkanization. The northernization agenda is on full swing. Fulani militias have intensified their jihad in the middle belt, boko haram will be "reintigrated" through a paid amnesty program. I am truly ashamed at the foolishness of the Yorubas for supporting this mythical messiah and bigot. 1 Like |

People are just looking for trouble. See Nigerian military can't curtail the genocide being caused by Fulani herdsmen in Christian Northern areas of which I know for sure that if it continues unabated, the people will be forced to take up arms and stop boko haram activities in NE. Now we want to add Niger delta insurgency into the equation. Nigerian military, police and all para military agencies can't fight 3 internal wars at the same time. Maybe Cameroon will come and claim the whole of Cross river state and there won't be any nigerian army to stop them. Infact I want to believe Shettima is joking as it's impossible at least for now |

13% oil derivation from groundnut oil or where I'm pretty sure the meaning of the word derivation is lost on governor Shettima. Why not encourage your colleagues to keep pressing for continue exploration of oil fields along the Chad basin, which closer to Borno rather than making outlandish demands ? |
Re: Borno Gov To Buhari: Give N/east 13% Oil Derivation by Nobody: 9:25am On May 19, 2015 |
signz: The truth is that the north wants a war in the ND. I have warned severally here on how the focus will change from the NE to the ND. Boko Haram is winding down. America is solidly behind the north and wants desperately to control the oil wells. The north wants to scrap the 13% derravative by all means and halt any aggigtation for resource control. |

dtruth3: This is no joking matter. The north wants to provoke another insurgency in the ND in order to justify a full military assault on ground with the backing of America. Remember that there is still some "sense" in "nonsense". Buhari and the northern dominated senate will adopt this move. |

13% not a bad idea if you can tell me the number of barrels of oil produce from north east to enable us calculate the figures. Remember you can not use the production elsewhere to get 13%. |

WombRaiders:Gbam !!! U are a true son of your father !!! Somebody deliberately set his house on fire and the villagers wanted to help him put off the fire but he resisted them, later after his house had been completely razed down he wanted the same villagers he once resisted to help him build back his house. Is that not stewpidity at the highest oder, or do u call it foolishness at it pick? Let them pls take care of the monster they crated for themselves and leave 13% oil derivation for the oil producing states, bcs those people suffer so much from environmental harzads caused by oil exploration. And besides, what happens to their Arab masters, are they not stinkingly rich from the same oil production, can't they source for finicial help from them to rebuild the region they jointly destroyed? Or is their own wealth only meant to arm the Jihadists 1 Like |
