“The Niger delta as a matter of urgency needs to re-think its development strategy by developing her non-oil sectors. There is no easy way out of this, and we will all see that at the end it is the only way out.” OilNigeriaDeltaNigerEmiIjawNigerdeltaIyalla Author:Emi Iyalla

Good disposable income to the government with no real value to the people of the Niger Delta.” OilAfricaNigeriaOilandgasIjawNigerdeltaEmiiyalla Author:Emi Iyalla
