ajoskele: I really understand your paranoia about Mimiko; Over d years, Mimiko has proven and has continued to prove to be a very cunning and mischievous Politician. However, on this issue of exploitation and exploration of Bitumen, the Federal Government has indeed given states the go-ahead to do such, IN PARTNERSHIP with PRIVATE INVESTORS. Before now, the solid minerals was on the exclusive legislative list, but now it is on the concurrent list...though, the constitution has not been amended to that effect. But, whether the private investor invited by the Ondo State Government is genuine or not I can't say.... 2 Likes |

ajoskele:thank you..I was about asking this same question....All natural resources whether in borno or kafachan belongs exclusively to the federal government...except of course the federal is aware of this development. . |

HCF:Until it is amended then... These are not real investors. The state government claims the investors will outrightly pay for the whole process without counterpart funding. A whooping $150million dollars! A company registered in Texas four years ago but has his Nigerian MD working for them since 2006! Could you please find time to check the company's website? Their records? Financial strength? Jobs completed? Just try. |

ajoskele: Next time sir, try and include something like https://ng.boell.org/2015/06/04/not-all-glitters-nigerias-bitumen-story It won't benefit anyone to just read your contribution, ending it with a bash at the governor with such a statement as "This is an attempt to sell a spoilt name" who would that benefit? I don't think this is the purpose of the topic. I've learnt in my life that using every opportunity to point accusing finger even when unnecessary would not solve problems (current Nigerian government's mentality, though that's reduced a bit recently) By nature, most people playing "saints" in the current government would do worse if they're allowed by the man in the helm of affairs. ***Please note that I'm not one having interest in politics.

ajoskele: Most of this states are not intrested in investing for exploration,they just want the money.I'm quite sure the state would not get money for the value of the products explored,they probably gave the company licence to perform exploration for years.So many of our minerals are already being illegally explored all over the country,without the govt receiving any cash,anyway. |

FG should allow state govts to explore the natural resources in the domain.
The question now is, will it be a national cake just like the Oil. 1 Like |

I can swear to you that it's just a play to collect billions of doars again in loan on behalf of the state from some world bank or Fg and not one spoon of bitumen wi leave the state leaving them in more lifelong debts. |

so now every other state can explore its natural resources and the fed govt will continue to explore the oil in the ND region and share the proceeds to all and sundry. is the bitumen not a resource that shud be explored, sold or used like the oil and the proceeds brought to the fed acc for sharing? i have also noticed that states govts are closing deals with other countries for goods and services eg building/investing the farming and some industries. is the bitumen not a natural resource like the oil in the ND? true federalism where a state owns every resource found in the state, is explored by their partnership with any local of foreign investor and tax paid to the fed is what we need now. it seems we are gradually leaning towards that but the oil in the ND would still belong to the fed govt. SMH for the ND leaders. |

xharder: True. If lagos was getting even 13% of port revenues, its revenues will be double what it is currently. 100% of that is remitted to the federal government. The good thing is that these companies pay taxes to the state and mop up some of the unemployed, which is a good thing. 2 Likes |

A good move on paper, quite laudable but I only pray it yields tangible results in the community and state at large. Our 21st century public office holders keep creating innovative schemes to outsmart everybody and consume themselves in effect. |
