Oil exploration consultant seeks equal FG appointments for Ogonis

An oil exploration consultant has called for the equal distribution of federal government appointments among the Ogoni people in Nigeria's Niger Delta.

In a push for equity in Nigeria's oil sector, a consultant specializing in oil exploration has urged the federal government to ensure equal distribution of appointments among the Ogoni ethnic group. The Ogonis, residing in the resource-rich Niger Delta, have long advocated for fair representation in governance and industry roles amid ongoing oil activities in their region. This call highlights persistent concerns over marginalization in federal allocations, though specific details on the consultant or the exact context of the appeal remain limited in available reports.
