WHO IS KEEPING THE OFFICIAL RECORD THAT SHOWS THE TRUE OWNERSHIP OF THE NIGERIA'S OIL BLOCKS?

The national confusion that is recently generated over the true ownership of the  Nigeria's oil blocks in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria is a national shame and a disgrace to Nigeria with Senator Ita Enang publicly claiming that about 83% of the oil blocks are owned by the Northerns and the Nigeria's human rights lawyer Femi Falana claiming in an article that 80% of those oil blocks are owned by foreign oil companies and foreigners.

Who do we believe as Nigerian citizens? Which information is accurate, reliable, dependable and trustworthy to believe? Why is the Ministry of Petroleum and the minister in charge of that federal government agency completely silent over this highly explosive national issue that has already heated up over national discourse as a nation?  Why are Nigerians kept in the dark over the ownership of their common national wealth?

Is this development not a major sign of mediocrity of the highest order and inefficiency in the leadership of this oil ministry? Why should a very important information about the allocation of the Nigeria's oil wells be so difficult to come by when we practice the Freedom of Information law in Nigeria? Why is our public elected officials and political appointees are always speaking about our national issues from both sides of their mouths? - Sunday Iwalaiye.
