“While the government and people of Zamfara State are allowed to control 100 percent of their gold resource (fiscal federalism applying in Zamfara State), what the people of the Niger Delta region could get from their own natural resource is a paltry three percent for host communities and in contrast, a whopping 30 percent for exploration of frontier basins.
