ANALYSIS OF THE ANTICIPATED ECJ JUDGEMENT

ANALYSIS  OF THE ANTICIPATED ECJ JUDGEMENT ~Uyi Emmanuel Olubor Esq. Tomorrow, the fourth of October 2024 promises to be a very important day or better still a day that might mark the future of football for eternity.  For those who are still at a loss as to what I am talking about. I believe we all remember Lassana Diarra, the ex  french national team player and ex Chelsea and Real Madrid player. Sometimes in 2014, he was hired by Locomotiv Moscow of Russia.

Over the years, a major impediment to the successful development of the oil and gas industry is the incessant friction between host communities and oil producing companies. This restiveness in the oil producing areas has always been attributed to economic and infrastructural neglect suffered by most host communities. Even though they are made to suffer huge ecological degradation to ensure the sustainable economic viability of the country. Thus, when the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) was being debated, a lot of consideration was given to ameliorate the hardship faced by host communities, in order to ensure a harmonious working relationship with the oil producing companies.
