This book was released on 2007-02-03 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2007 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, University of Paderborn, course: Commonwealth of Nations, language: English, abstract: The energy sector plays a vital role in Nigeria’s economy since the country is endowed with abundant energy resources, such as oil, gas, coal and water. Oil was discovered in 1958 and has since the early 1970s dominated the economy. Today, Nigeria is the largest oil producer in sub-Saharan Africa and since 1971 a member of OPEC, with an estimated production volume of 2.413 million barrel/day (2005). This makes it the world's sixth largest producer. Since 1960, Nigeria has reaped an estimated US$600 billion in oil revenue. At the same time, Nigeria has the third highest number of poor people in the world, after China and India. With a per capita income of about US$ 350, around 70 million Nigerians are living on less than one US Dollar a day. Low human development level, social conflicts and enviromental degradation are just a few problems which chararterize the current state of development in Nigeria. The question to be asked is why a country such as Nigeria which is highly endowded with one of the most valuable resources has faired disproportionally badly in economic and social terms? Why has so little been done in terms of human development? Besides, the Niger Delta region - the main producer of oil in Nigeria - though being the engine of Nigeria’s economy, also presents a paradox, because the vast oil revenues have barely touched the delta’s own pervasive local poverty. Vast natural resource reserves have many implications. They may affect socio-economic and political developments of the country as well as have considerable enviromental implications. While natural resource reserves (oil and other mineral resources) constitute a potential blessing for the country that owns them, they turn out to be a curse in most cases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study provides a comprehensive and balanced analysis of the impact of the oil industry on a particular developing country--Nigeria--over a period of 32 years. Ikein uses a multidimensional approach that enables him to identify the linkage between the performance of the oil industry and the pattern of Nigeria's national and regional development. Through an in-depth examination of the various socioeconomic factors thought to influence the social well-being of a group of people, he explores whether and how the Nigerian people have been helped by the supposed benefits of oil on their economy, challenging those who see benefits in purely economic terms

Book Synopsis The Nigerian Oil Economy by : J. K. Onoh
Download or read book The Nigerian Oil Economy written by J. K. Onoh and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of Nigeria's oil industry is examined comprehensively in this book, originally published in 1984. It charts the changing course of her economy and examines the dramatic effect oil has had on Nigeria's domestic and international policies. Oil has enabled her to command a powerful position in African affairs and within OPEC itself, but at the same time, has held back other forms of economic development. Nigeria's future in the oil industry, as well as in related fields such as gas, is assessed both in the light of her former policies and in the changing world economy. This book will be of interest to all concerned in the oil industry, international finance or world power politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent times, petroleum sector has play crucial role in the socio-economic development of most countries in the world especially countries with great petroleum deposits. Nigeria has benefited immensely from petroleum exploitation activities as one of the countries endowed with petroleum resources. Today, the rise in the world oil prices attracted the major oil companies like Mobil, Total, Agip, Chevron and other energy companies to invest and operate in the Petroleum industry, thus enabling Nigeria to reap instant riches from oil. The notion or assumption that petroleum proceeds really articulate sustainable development has been argued by many scholars in the field of energy economics, public policy, and environmental. As such several studies have been conducted in this regards and some show inverse correlation between the level of dependency on petroleum resources and that of sustainable development in natural resource rich countries but the conclusion vary in many resource endowed countries, this assertion is evidence in this work which analysed the risks and opportunities involve in oil exploration, production/distribution and then compares with other countries of the world.

Book Synopsis Globalization, Democracy and Oil Sector Reform in Nigeria by : Adeoye O. Akinola
Download or read book Globalization, Democracy and Oil Sector Reform in Nigeria written by Adeoye O. Akinola and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nigerian state has been oil-rich for decades, and yet perennially incapable of converting its oil resources into wealth for ordinary Nigerians. Adeoye O. Akinola tackles this “vexed” oil question by examining the political economy of efforts to deregulate the Nigerian downstream oil industry. Focusing on themes of globalization and democratization, this book considers how a resource-rich developing country like Nigeria can exploit the opportunities of globalization and navigate the pressures of democratization and the challenges of liberalization. Pairing sophisticated theoretical frameworks with firsthand accounts from actors in the oil industry, this book identifies the root causes of Nigeria’s development struggles and offers practical policy solutions for successfully deregulating the oil sector. For public officials and policymakers as well as researchers, this book offers a critical new lens on the future of natural resource management in Nigeria and the Global South.
Book Synopsis An Examination of the Socio-economic and Environmental Impact of Planned Oil Sands Development in Nigeria by : Murtala Ibraheem Chindo

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria became a mono-product economy through its heavy reliance on crude oil for export and revenue. As a result of oil price volatility and the need to increase national revenue and public spending, the Nigerian government has adopted a policy of diversification to non-oil minerals. This study focuses on oil sands that are considered second only to oil in terms of economic potential. This policy also means that Nigeria is moving towards finite resource and a dirtier form of crude oil. A national analysis of non-oil mineral activity using a GIS indicates that exploration, mining and quarrying are widespread; a potentially positive outcome for national mineral development. The government however, is failing to take into account the impact of this activity on communities and ecosystems overlapping or lying proximal to mining licences. A case study indicates that oil sands exploitation can have a positive impact on the host communities through infrastructure development, which can trigger small businesses, job opportunities and increased income. Despite these benefits, there are fears of environmental degradation, displacements, loss of communal lands and means of livelihood. Already, the long delays in the development of oil sands are fuelling anger, deprivation, land grabs and pollution, and worst of all, ever-deeper underdevelopment of these "conditional resource communities', which is aggravating the resource curse. For the oil sands projects to be feasible, beneficial and sustainable, Nigeria's quest for resource wealth must integrate economic growth, social equity and ecological integrity at this planning stage. The thesis makes original contributions to determining resource communities and to the cumulative body of knowledge on the potential impacts of resource development on host communities in a rent-seeking economy like Nigeria.
