“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
“Everybody looks at oil and almost entirely forget that the percentage of jobs the oil sector creates is relatively small compared to the population; the introduction of more sophisticated exploration methods makes it even worse. Oil companies now look for smarter, leaner and cheaper operations. Where will these leave the economy? Good disposable income to the government with no real value to the people of the Niger Delta.” OilAfricaNigeriaOilandgasIjawNigerdeltaEmiiyalla Author:Emi Iyalla
