Revenue Harmonization and Administration Bill (Work in Progress) OKOWA’S SCORECARD 17 ANALYSIS OF DELTA STATE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT/VALUE ADDED (2013-2017) Introduction This administration assumed office in 2015 as the Nigerian economy faced a down turn following rapidly declining price of crude oil, the nations’s major foreign exchange earner. As a monocultural economy of high fiscal dependence on crude oil revenue, crude oil price was steadily heading for new lows and at some point, as low as USD 30/ barrel in 2016. A combination of faulty and uncertain macroeconomic policies and the declining crude oil price pushed the national economy into a recession which reached its peak in 2016. At our subnational level, sound economic planning and practices with focused implementation resulted in significant growth in Agriculture and Services sectors throughout the period of the national economic recession. Our GDP growth rate for 2017 is 40.15% as shown in table 1.1 below. However, cummulative average growth rate from 2013-2017 in all the sectors are; Agriculture 10.95%; Industrial 2.34% and Services 11.11%. Average overall growth rate for 2013- 2017 is 3.28%. 1. General Overview 18 OKOWA’S SCORECARD From the tables and Figures above, the Nominal GDP of the state declined between 2013 and 2014 by -12.76%, between 2014 and 2015 by -12.02% and between 2015 and 2016 by -2.24% and it picked up between 2016 and 2017 with a 40.15% growth. OKOWA’S SCORECARD 19 Sectoral Analysis Agricultural sector grew from 2.42% in 2015 to 20.41% in 2016 and 6.22% in 2017 as shown in Table 1.2 and Figure1.4 below: The average growth in the agriculture sector between 2013 and 2017 was 10.95%. On the other hand, the Services Sector grew from 6.57% in 2015 to 10.55% in 2016 and to 15.97% in 2017 as shown in table 1.3 and figure 1.5 below; 20 OKOWA’S SCORECARD The average growth in the Services sector between 2013 and 2017 was 11.11%. With the return of peace and demonstrable effort by this administration to sustain peace in the Niger Delta Crude oil production increased and this coincided with the increase in prices in the international market which led to significant growth in the industrial sector. The sector grew from -21.88% in 2015 to -14.68% in 2016 and a huge positive growth of 68.66% in 2017. As shown in Table 1.4 and figure 1.6 & 1.7 below:- OKOWA’S SCORECARD 21 The average growth in the Industrial sector between 2013 and 2017 was 2.34%. Overall our State GDP grew in absolute figure in 2017 to N4.058Trillion surpassing our 2013 level of N3.859 Trillion. Our State has therefore turned the bend decisively and it can only get better.

  • Corruption in Civil Society Activism in the Niger Delta and Defines Csos to Include Ngos, Self-Help Groups and Militant Organisations
    THE ROLE OF CORRUPTION ON CIVIL SOCIETY ACTIVISM IN THE NIGER DELTA BY TOMONIDIEOKUMA BRIGHT A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE LANCASTER UNIVERSITY FOR DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SUBMISSION DATE: SEPTEMBER, 2019 i Abstract: This thesis studies the challenges and relationships between the Niger delta people, the federal government and Multinational Oil Companies (MNOCs). It describes the major problems caused by unmonitored crude oil exploitation as environmental degradation and underdevelopment. The study highlights the array of roles played by Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in filling the gap between the stakeholders in the oil industry and crude oil host communities. Except for the contributions from Austin Ikelegbe (2001), Okechukwu Ibeanu (2006) and Shola Omotola (2009), there is a limitation in the literature on corruption and civil society activism in the Niger delta. These authors dwelt on the role of CSOs in the region’s struggle. But this research fills a knowledge gap on the role of corruption in civil society activism in the Niger delta and defines CSOs to include NGOs, self-help groups and militant organisations. Corruption is problematic in Nigeria and affects every sector of the economy including CSOs. The corruption in CSOs is demonstrated in their relationship with MNOCs, the federal government, host communities and donor organisations. Smith (2010) discussed the corruption in NGOs in Nigeria which is also different because this work focuses on the role of corruption in CSOs in the Niger delta and the problems around crude oil exploitation. The findings from the fieldwork using oral history, ethnography, structured and semi-structured interview methods show that corruption impacts CSOs activism in diverse ways and has structural and historical roots embedded in colonialism.

  • First Election Security Threat Assessment
    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.

To different Oyo State citizens, Senator Abiola Ajimobi meant different things. Senator Abiola Ajimobi came, he saw and he conquered. I personally came in physical contact with the Late Senator Abiola Ajimobi two days to the 2011 Oyo Governorship election. I was with Comrade Laoye Sanda, a bosom friend of Senator Abiola Ajimobi who then was the Chairman of the Coalition for A New Nigeria (CNN). The Coalition was put in place to wrestle power from the People‟s Democratic Party (PDP) under the administration of Otuba Alao Akala. I was the state secretary of the Coalition. Comrade Laoye Sanda and I were in the house of Senator Abiola Ajimobi at Oluyole to brief him about the decision of the Coalition concerning the 2011 Oyo governorship elections. The rest, like they say, is now history. My second time of meeting Senator Ajimobi was when I was elected as the foundation secretary of the Interparty Advisory Council (IPAC) in Oyo State.
