Oil Minister, Contractors at War Over Niger Delta
Column: Akanimo Sampson 

NIGERIA's Petroleum Resources Minister, Mrs. Diezani Allison-Madueke, and a regional contractor bloc in the Niger Delta, are currently at logger heads over the interest of the oil and gas region that has been a hot bed of low intensity war till the amnesty programme came to effect last December.

The South-South Contractors Forum in the oil and gas sector, are accusing the minister of ''anti-Niger Delta tendencies'' and as such, are opposed to her being included in President Goodluck Jonathan's next cabinet.
