Nigeria 'squandering' oil riches |
| Home | (BBC) - Officials in Nigeria's oil-rich Niger Delta have been accused of squandering funds that should have been used to provide services for the poor.
"Public schools have been left to fall apart and health care facilities lack even the most basic of amenities," Human Rights Watch said in a report. Violence has risen dramatically in the area where militants are demanding a greater local share of the oil wealth. The US-based group said the unrest was due to a failure to deal with graft. |
