What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Olusegun Obasanjo and Douye Diri called for a review of Nigeria’s 13 per cent derivation allocation to oil-producing states. They argue the current arrangement does not provide a fair share of petroleum wealth to the Niger Delta. Olusegun Obasanjo stated that 13 per cent is merely a starting point for the discussion. Douye Diri also criticized the Land Use Act for disadvantaging oil-producing communities.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The renewed demands revive longstanding debates over resource control and fiscal federalism in Nigeria. This challenges the established revenue allocation policy of the federal government. The controversy centers on how much oil-producing communities benefit from revenues generated in their territories.
