Background of the Study
Nigeria’s oil sector has long been the backbone of its economy, contributing significantly to government revenue and foreign exchange earnings. However, the sector has also been plagued by inefficiency, corruption, and a lack of transparency. Goodluck Jonathan’s administration (2010-2015) sought to address these challenges through a series of reforms aimed at increasing the sector's transparency, efficiency, and contribution to economic development. These reforms included the creation of new regulatory bodies, the implementation of new fiscal policies, and efforts to attract foreign investment while improving the management of oil revenues.
In Gombe North, Gombe State, the oil sector has had an indirect yet significant impact on the region, particularly in terms of employment opportunities, local infrastructure development, and community welfare initiatives. This study will examine the effect of Goodluck Jonathan’s oil sector reforms on the economic development of Gombe North, focusing on the region's reliance on oil revenues and the changes brought about by the reforms.

In Gombe North, the effects of these reforms on local economic development are unclear, particularly in terms of job creation, infrastructure development, and the broader socioeconomic impact on the population. This study aims to fill this gap by investigating the specific effects of the reforms in Gombe North.
