Another look at fiscal federalism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There shouldn’t be any argument that proceeds from the exploration of Nigeria’s continental shelf petroleum and marine mineral resources accruing to the Federation Account, from which they would be divided among the federal, state and local governments of the Nigerian federation. That is the way it should be. A continental shelf, which could be 310 miles wide and 660 feet deep, is coastal land submerged under the sea and is exclusively reserved by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the
Metaphor of the tenant (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Atiku’s reverse on subsidy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You might agree with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s plan to restore petrol subsidy if elected, when you consider the hardship that trails its removal, and the failure of many state and local governments to use their increased revenue from the Federation Account to improve the lives of their people.
