  • Nigeria Last Updated: May 6, 2016
    Country Analysis Brief: Nigeria Last Updated: May 6, 2016 Overview Nigeria is currently the largest oil producer in Africa and was the world's fourth-largest exporter of LNG in 2015. Nigeria’s oil production is hampered by instability and supply disruptions, while its natural gas sector is restricted by the lack of infrastructure to commercialize natural gas that is currently flared (burned off). Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa, holds the largest natural gas reserves on the continent, and was the world’s fourth-largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in 2015.1 Nigeria became a member of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1971, more than a decade after oil production began in the oil-rich Bayelsa State in the 1950s.2 Although Nigeria is the leading oil producer in Africa, production is affected by sporadic supply disruptions, which have resulted in unplanned outages of up to 500,000 barrels per day (b/d). Figure 1: Map of Nigeria Source: U.S. Department of State 1 Nigeria’s oil and natural gas industry is primarily located in the southern Niger Delta area, where it has been a source of conflict. Local groups seeking a share of the wealth often attack the oil infrastructure, forcing companies to declare force majeure on oil shipments (a legal clause that allows a party to not satisfy contractual agreements because of circumstances beyond their control). At the same time, oil theft leads to pipeline damage that is often severe, causing loss of production, pollution, and forcing companies to shut in production.

    Quest Journals Journal of Research in Humanities and Social Science Volume 2 ~ Issue 11 (2014) pp: 75-80 ISSN(Online) : 2321-9467 www.questjournals.org Research Paper Spatio – Temporal Changes in the Geomorphic Shoreline of Bonny Island Mark Ogoro Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Port Harcourt, Port Harcourt, Nigeria Received 21 November, 2014; Accepted 06 December, 2014 © The author(s) 2014. Published with open access at www.questjournals.org ABSTRACT:- Increased inundation of coastlines which causes loss of habitable island, properties, mangrove vegetation is attendants’ effects of climate change. The present study examines the vulnerability and spatio – temporal changes in the shoreline of Bonny Island, Nigeria sequel to rises in sea level over time. Satellites imageries of Land-Sat Tm of 30m x 30m of 1986 and 2001 and Niger Sat Image of 30m x 30m of 2006 and 2011 were employed to determine changes in bonny shoreline. From the analysis, 1,819.4sq km and 4,588.38 sq km of land was lost to sea between 1986 through 2001, and between 2001 through 2006 respectively, while 1,781.96 sq km of land was lost between 2006 and 2011. Hence the study recommended among others that there should be integrated coastal zone management and developmental planning to enhance shoreline protection and mitigation of the impact of sea level rise on the region. Keywords:- Bonny Island, Sea Level Rise, shoreline, Vulnerability, Inundation I. INTRODUCTION Bonny Island is one of the most densely populated Local Government Areas in Rivers State, Nigeria. Majority of its inhabitants’ live in the riverside and coastline area prone to natural hazard such as shoreline retreat/inundation, coastal inundation, flood etc the physical Geography of the area features its long coastline and the Equatorial climate.

Bristol-Alagbariya * Associate Dean & Senior Multidisciplinary Lecturer, Faculty of Law, University of Port Harcourt, NIGERIA; Affiliate Visiting Fellow, University of Aberdeen, UNITED KINGDOM; and Visiting Research Fellow, Centre for Energy, Petroleum & Mineral Law and Policy (CEPMLP), Graduate School of Natural Resources Law, Policy & Management, University of Dundee, Scotland, UNITED KINGDOM * E-mail of the corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Oil-rich Ancient Grand Bonny Kingdom, founded before or about 1,000AD, was the economic and political centre of the Ancient Niger Delta region and a significant symbol of African civilisation, before the creation of Opobo Kingdom out of it (in 1870) and the eventual evolution of modern Nigeria (in 1914). The people and houses of this oil-rich Kingdom of the Nigerian Delta region invest more in traditional rulership, based on house system of governance. The people rely more on their traditional rulers to foster their livelihoods and cater for their wellbeing and the overall good and prosperity of the Kingdom. Hence, there is a need for good traditional governance (GTG), more so, when the foundations of GTG and its characteristic features, based on natural law and natural rights, were firmly established during the era of the Kingdom’s Premier Monarchs (Ndoli-Okpara, Opuamakuba, Alagbariya and Asimini), up to the reign of King Halliday-Awusa.

I Semestre de 2011 5 (1) ISSN 1692-0791 Artículo 2 http://www.geotropico.org/ ________________________________________________________________________________________ Publicación electrónica arbitrada por pares A peer-reviewed online journal A spatial analysis of infrastructures and social services in rural Nigeria: Implications for public policy Nkasiobi Silas Oguzor, PhD Provost, Federal College of Education (Technical), Omoku-Rivers State, Nigeria Manuscrito recibido: Diciembre 22, 2010 Artículo aceptado: Febrero 28 2011 Abstract There are observed inequalities in the distribution of socio-economic facilities in Nigeria. The paper examined the availability of some social infrastructural facilities in rural parts of Imo State. It equally examined the extent to which those facilities have promoted rural development in the State. Data were collected mainly from primary sources. A total number of 2,340 copies of questionnaire were administered in eighteen communities and all were retrieved for the analysis. Research findings revealed unevenness in the availability of potable water supply and telephone (analogue landline) facilities. However, the availability of electricity, educational and health facilities were largely indicated by respondents in the 18 study communities to be well spread across the State. The paper noted some rural development implications as the result of the Z-test of proportion statistics led to the rejection of the null hypothesis and the acceptance of the alternative, which is that, majority of rural areas in Imo State, have significant presence of social infrastructural facilities that enhance economic activities. Keywords: infrastructure, rural development, communities, services, Nigeria Introduction The issue of infrastructure and the development of rural areas have continued to be topical in Nigeria.

When I first entered the University of Texas at Austin in 2007 to begin my doctoral studies, I had a clear plan for finishing. I knew that I wanted to write on the United States and the Nigerian Civil War, which, as it turns out, was a good start. I promised my wife it would take five years to finish. Seven years later, I have completed my degree. Part of the reason for the delay was that I discovered that the Nigerian Civil War was a much larger event with much more import than scholars have realized. My dissertation required research on three continents and numerous cities: from Los Angeles, to London, to Lagos.
