A
senior Nigerian lawyer, Femi Falana, has threatened to go to court if the
Muhammadu Buhari administration goes ahead to allocate oil blocks to private
individuals and corporate bodies.
Mr Falana said such allocations are a gross
violation of the fundamental rights of the Nigerian masses to freedom from
discrimination and equal right of access to public property.
His threat was contained in a letter to the
president, dated March 20, with a copy made available to Premium Times.
In the letter titled, “Request to Stop
Allocating Oil Blocks to Private Individuals and Corporate Bodies”, the lawyer
also warned the president to restrict the allocation of oil blocks including
marginal fields to the Federal Government and the governments of the 36 states
of the Federation.
