THE Citizen Report Card is the name given to a study conducted by a non-governmental organisation called The Niger Delta Professionals for Development with support from the European Union and the National Planning Commission. According to media reports, the study has shown that no fewer than 287 projects have been abandoned in 120 oil producing communities in six states in the Niger Delta region.
ALL the tiers of government and private companies are implicated in this daunting crisis of failure to improve the living conditions of the people in this geopolitical zone as the detailed analysis has revealed that 34 per cent of the projects were abandoned by the Federal Government, 42 per cent by the state governments, 11 per cent by the local governments, eight per cent by the oil companies and six per cent by the international agencies.
