I know that a future without oil which provides most of our external earnings is not a future to be contemplated lightly.
I know that as things stand right now, without the money from the Federation Account, most of it derived from oil, practically every state in Nigeria, not just in the North, will collapse.
In a federalism like ours, the constitution guarantees the federating units equal rights to all revenue accruing to the federation account subject to laid down conditions.
There is no where the constitution prohibits regions from pursuing their economic interests.
Nothing stops any region from developing at its own pace by choosing its areas of expertise and doing all it can in the pursuit of same.
