PANDEF@10: Leaders Push for 50% Derivation

Marking its 10th anniversary, the Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF) is demanding that the minimum derivation allocation for oil-producing states rise from 13% to 50%. National Chairman Amb. Godknows Igali also called for an end to the onshore/offshore distinction in revenue allocation, faster completion of the Lagos–Calabar Coastal Highway and urgent cleanup of the Niger Delta. PANDEF proposed a market-based regional investment fund to support businesses, connectivity and jobs, and urged voters to participate peacefully in the 2027 elections.
