The forum also called for transparent financing for the Ogoni cleanup and plans to extend remediation to other parts of the Niger Delta. They urged the federal government, the Revenue Mobilisation, Allocation and Fiscal Commission, and the National Assembly to resolve the dispute over how the onshore/offshore distinction affects revenue sharing.
