ABSTRACT
This project was prepared and structured to
evaluate resource control agitation in Nigeria,
causes and implications with particular emphasis on River State
government. The project is arranged in such a way that one chapter naturally
leads to the other. It was organized in five chapters, chapter one started with
the introduction of resources control in Nigeria which is narrowed down to
its causes and implication. These chapter also emphasizes the objective of the
study, significance of study, scope of study and definition of terms, chapter
two deals with the review of related literature, all of which are discussed in
details. Chapter three dealt with research methodology, ways on which data was
designed, collected and sampled. Chapter four dealt with presentation and its
analysis and research findings. It must be noted that information contained in
this project was raised from the internet, chapter five dealt with findings,
conclusion and recommendations as well as references and appendices.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Nigeria is blessed
with numerous national endowments which gives her a lot revenue in return. This
in return prompted the people especially those in power to manipulate the
economy of the nation and this act gave rise to selfish political consciousness
to almost every Nigeria.
This feelings in particular gave rise to resource control agitation in Nigeria
and invariably Nigeria have suffered a lot of set back both in socio, economic
and culture development due to this agitation to control the resources of the
country.
This struggle, according to recent
research, shows that it started during the slave trade era in the 16th
century. The fact is that, there is no region in our country that is not
naturally blessed but the ability and capability of the Nigeria
government to control it effectively turns out to be a problem. It is obvious
that some states in the country are not aware of the mineral resources
available to them.
However, the essence of this study is to
ascertain the causes and implications of resources control in our country. This
constitute the following: Underdevelopment, jealousy and greediness.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Nigeria is
immensely a mineral rich country with every state literally endowed. This
seemingly innocuous question begs for an answer in Nigeria because not since the
European discovered the wealth. Africa has
such agreed driven wickedness been witnessed as been visited by the people of
the Niger Delta of Nigeria because of the discovery of crude oil on their land
and waters. Why these clamous focus on a single resources is it because neither
the government nor the people know that there are resources in every nook and
cranny of the country, which if properly exploited are capable of generating as
much kerosene as crude oil.
Going by facts, it is not adequately
blessed, for the continuous existence of the country as we know it now. The
government had better retrace their steps and beg to execute true justice in
the land. Justice for the people includes aggressive development moribund,
agrarian and tourism economics together with optimal mining and management of
mineral resources. These can climate in ordinance fixation on the Niger-Delta
crude oil.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
There
are reports about misappropriation of resource fund(crude oil) derived from
Niger-Delta region. Also there exist minimal exploitation and management on
solid minerals resources alongside the neglect of other economic sectors. For
examples agriculture and tourism has remained a recarrying boomer against Nigeria since independence, since Federal Government
focus on resources of Niger-Delta region has intensified, resulting in several
disadvantages that manifest in various forms of ecological devastation,
inequalities, injustice, human right abuse and conflicts.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The
objective of this study is to find out
(a)
If different states in the country Nigeria are
aware of the mineral resources available to them.
(b)
If there is law that give the Federal
Government absolute rights over mineral resources in Nigeria
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTION
This
research in the resource control agitation in Nigeria
as regards to its causes and implication with particular reference of River State
has raised some questions among experts and professionals, which the study has
attempted to address. The research question consist of the following
a.
If resource control is achieved, do you think
it will lead to economic development in Nigeria?
b.
If resource control is ascertained, do you
think it will stop ethic crises?
c.
Do resources control agitation exist in Nigeria?
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The
essence of this study is to ascertain and identify the causes and effects of
resources control clamour in Nigeria
with particular reference to River
State. The work will
enlighten us the more on the contending issues in resources control.
It will also show the level of awareness
amongst ethic groups in relations to their natural endowment. Also the
implication and consequences of resource control will be seen. The work will
also provide dues as to management of resources , it will also recommend
solutions on how best to handle this problem of resources control in Nigeria.
1.6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The
scope and range of this study would have been wide enough to encompass grossly
all the states in Nigeria
but this study will be focusing on conflict or causes and implications of resources
control agitation with particular reference to River State.
Moreso, comparison may be made with other state where and when necessary.
1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
During
the course of this study, the researcher encountered some problems. The problem
of time stood in the way of the
researcher, financial predicament was yet another obstacle to the researcher
and also lack of available materials to carry out the research work effectively
constitutes the limitations for instance, lack of information unnecessary
bureaucratic steps in the River State Ministry of commerce and industry all
contributed to the problems encountered during this research work.
