CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
theNigeria as an independent nation was characterized by good governance and the principle of sustainable management of human and material resources in the 60’s and 70’s, which made up governed to experience. Situation of improved social and economic condition which eras attributed to the affordable cost of energy products such as petroleum and electricity.However in the energy 80’s and aptill date the services of government that has piloted the affairs of this great nation (Nigeria) even those that has failed to realize that energy products such as petroleum and electricity products are the mainstay the entire citizenry of the country this is evident in the level of mal-administration which ahs been recorded in the energy sector in recent times thereby making the cost of these products to be above the reach of the and users.
Nigeria
is the largest oil producer in Africa and the elevent largest producer in the
World, the main stay of Nigeria economy is the petroluem sector. The Niger
Delta region has an area of over twenty eight thousand square kilometers, the
Niger Delta area has as part of its features, and meandering waterways. A large
part of the area consists of salt water swamp parts of the fresh water further
inland have limited agricultural possibilities, the region derived the name
(Niger Delta) from being situated at the mouth of the River, Niger, which could
be traced back to early 15th century. Comprising the people of the region are
the Ijaws (who form the largest ethnic group in the areas, the Itsekiri,
Urohobos, Efiks, Ibibios and other smaller ethnic groups. Before the creation
of the Nigerian state, economic activities of the Niger Delta in pre-colonial
days entailed mainly export of salt and fish to its hinterlands. In the 18th
century, when slave trade was at its peak, the region was West Africa’s largest
slave exporting area, and this was enhanced by its nearness to the sea. Slave
dealers, however, diverted the palm oil trade in the 19th century when slave
trade declined. The colonial era gave birth to Nigeria, with the Niger Delta
situated at the Southern-Eastern part of the country. As at 1975, three states
were under the region namely Rivers, Bendel, and Cross River states, with two
Igbp states, Anambra and Imo as the hinterland following the creation of more
states and a redefinition of the areas to be included in the Niger Delta states
were Abia, AkwaIbom, Bayelsa, Cross River, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers
state.the critical issue of oil pipelines vandalism and its effects on the
socioeconomic development in Nigerian society. Nigeria discovered crude oil deposit
in large quantity in the Niger Delta region in 1956. By 1958, Shell D‟Arcy had
discovered crude oil in twelve areas in the region of which Oloibiri, Afam and
Bonu were the most promising. Oil production started in Oloibiri in early 1958
with 3, 000 barrels per day (Ekpu, 2009). Since then, enormous deposits of
crude petroleum oil have been found on-shore and off-shore in many parts of the
Niger Delta region and father eastwards towards Ohaji and Egbema axis. By 1997,
Nigeria‟s proven oil reserve was put as 13.5 billion barrels. However, the
estimated recoverable oil was put at 22.5 billion barrels of oil in the region
from a total of 164 blocks(Inyang, 2004). In 2015, however, Nigeria was ranked
as the 10th largest oil producer in the world with proven oil reserve of about
36 billion barrels, and gas reserve of about 185 Trillion Cubit Feet (TCF),
among others (Johnson, 2015). It should be noted that crude petroleum oil has
been discovered further inland along Anambra River plain and its production had
commenced under Orient Petroleum. This has made Anambra state to join the
coveted league of oil producing states in the country. In February 2016,
Nigeria was reported to have devised a strategy to maintain crude oil
production at 2.2 million barrels per day. The 2016 Federal budget was said to
have been pegged at this level of crude oil production. Thus, the Minister of
State for Petroleum Resources and Group Managing Director, Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Dr. IbeKachikwu was reported to have affirmed that
the county‟s oil production would be 2.2mbpd for the month of February 2016. He
was reported to have further stated that the country would keep striving to
increase crude oil production to meet local demand and not necessarily to sell
it in international market. He reportedly noted that Nigeria has considerable
local demand for refined petroleum products and, as such, the demand for the
four domestic refineries was at least 500, 000 barrels of crude oil per day
(See Okoromadu, 2016).
