Before we, 9newsng.com drives you the whole miles of this lengthy report, first we find it necessary to let you see the ‘why’ the Federal Government should look into the lopsided allocation of oil blocks to some Nigerians and possibly abrogate this unconstitutional practice.
Thus, it may interest you to know that the allocation of oil blocks and oil marginal fields to individuals or corporate organizations introduced in Nigeria by the military in their quest to demonstrate that they were sole administrators of all assets in the country is not authorized by today’s 1999 constitution as amended in which all policies of government at all levels draw its strength.
Section 44(3) while prohibiting this illegality has vested the management of this important sector of the economy solely on the Federal Government of Nigeria.
Section 44 sub-section 3 says: “the entire/property in and control of all minerals, minerals oils and natural gas in, under or upon any land in Nigeria or in, under or upon the territorial waters and the Exclusive Economic Zone of Nigeria shall vest in the Government of the Federation and shall be managed in such a manner as may be prescribed by the National Assembly”.
This section of the 1999 constitution as amended vests the ownership, management and control of all minerals, minerals oils and natural gas absolutely on the Federal Government until the National Assembly withdraws such powers.
But hitherto, the National Assembly has not withdrawn the ownership, management and control of minerals from the Federal Government and has not also authorized her to share its natural assets to any individual or organization, yet unknown to most Nigerians oil blocks and oil marginal fields are own by individuals and organizations, thus putting them in a much better economic advantage than others.
And moreso, in concurrence to section 44(3), sharing or allocating Oil and Gas deposits to private citizens, officials of government and organizations is a clear violation of Section 16(2)(c) of the law of the land in Nigeria.
Here the constitution provides that, “the economic system is not operated in such a manner as to permit the concentration of wealth or the means of production and exchange in the hands of few individuals or of a group”.
The contravention of the constitution in regards to the allocation of oil blocks and oil marginal fields should be arrested and restrained forthwith.
Presently in Nigeria, there are 1481 active oil wells and 159 active marginal fields.
Out of the above national commonwealth, 52% of them are own my some identified Nigerians, while 48% are held by direct allocation by the FG or leasing by individuals to foreign Oil and gas firms.
And unknown to the Federal Government some Nigerian who own this oil blocks have made it a practice to sub-lease them to some international oil companies due to their lack of an initial corresponding fund and technical expertise to develop the oil and gas industry. By this, they mortgage the country commonwealth, then swing on luxury armchair in their homes where they sit to collect huge rents from those they leased the country asset to, thus oil block owners become unjustifiably rich while the Federal, State and Local Governments depend on loans and bailout to pay salaries and carry out basic infrastructural development of the country.
In 9newsng.com quest to know who actually owns these Oil blocks, we have discovered that individuals and group of persons from the northern Nigeria own 77% of the oil blocks, while individuals from western Nigeria own 8%. The Niger/Delta individuals hold 3% of the Oil blocks. And individuals from Eastern Nigeria extraction own 2% of the oil blocks. And on the whole, a great majority of these Nigerians sub-lease their blocks to foreign firms which themselves (foreign oil firm) were already allotted 10% of the Nigeria Oil blocks.
While space may not be available enough to reel out the names and operators of all 1481 oil wells and 159 marginal fields unconstitutionally shared to individuals and group of persons in Nigeria, 9newsng.com has extracted few from Nigerian Monitor’s site to appeal to the FG to review this lopsided sharing and possibly revoke this robbery of the people commonwealth by a cluster of bourgeois feeding on the majority of Nigerians complaisance to anti people policies and ignorance of their rights.
