Contending Issues in the Niger Delta Crisis of Nigeria Chapter X: The Politics of Interventionist Policies and the Niger Delta Crisis of Nigeria: Impacts and Challenges By Clement Odiri Obagbinoko Introduction Nigeria’s post-colonial constitutional arrangement granted extensive powers to the regions; making them effectively autonomous entities and the revenue arrangements ensured that the regions had the resources to carry out the immense responsibilities. Under the 1960 and 1963 constitutions, a true federal system made of up of strong states or regions and a central or federal government with limited powers was instituted. Thus the following features are worth noting. 1. Each region had its won separate constitution, in addition to the federal government constitution. 2. Each region had its own separate coat of arms and motto, from that of the federal government 3. Each region established its own separate semi-independent mission in the U.K headed by ‘Agents General’ 4. The regional government powers i.e where any matter was not allocated to the regions or the federal government, it automatically became a matter for regional jurisdiction. 256
