The Governor of Bayelsa State, Mr Douye Diri, has called for a review of the 13 per cent derivation formula, saying the current percentage does not reflect the sufferings of the Niger Delta people and

the damage done to the region’s environment.

He made the call at the weekend during an online conference themed, ‘The Impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic on the Aquatic Flora and Fauna of the Niger Delta,’ to mark this year’s World Environment Day. The conference, which was hosted by the Bayelsa State Ministry of the Environment, had discussants simultaneously in Yenagoa, Benin and Abuja.

Diri said the people of the region had been shortchanged from the proceeds of their rich and vast resources not only by the Federal Government but also oil firms.All rights reserved.

What have you done with the one you've been collecting?

Thief..Collect 100% na

Luke 16:10 (KJV) 'He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.'

“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities.' Even if you're given 💯% derivation, you will still fail Niger Delta. What have you done with 13% derivation?

What have you done with the 13% you have been receiving. How about NDDC, how about all the corporate tax the oil companies pay to the state government. The Niger Delta leaders are just stuffing your pockets and impoverishing their citizens.

Onset of new militancy, but you have got to be careful as oil prices are plunging and clean tech is flourishing

The ones you guys have been collecting; has there been any serious development from it Your colleague in war-ravaged North East is outperforming you guys with NO 13% derivative.
