EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
1. The structure of federalism in Nigeria in which South-East account for 12.27%; North-East 14.47%; North-Central including FCT 15.63%; South-South 15.89%; South-West 17.70% and North-West 24.03% disproportionately influenced revenue allocation among the component units on the basis of equality of states in a corresponding order. Particularly of note is the divergence in structural terms between North-West and South-East, which also impacted on the revenue allocated to the two Geo-Political Zones in Nigeria. On the other hand, the structure of South African federalism in which the number of District Municipalities in Eastern Cape account for 11.36%; North Cape 9.09; Free State 11.36%; Gauteng 11.36%; KwaZulu-Natal 15.90%; Limpopo 11.36; Mpumalanga 9.09%; North West 9.09% and West Cape 13.63% enhanced equitability in revenue allocation.
2. The proceeds from natural resource exploitation in Nigeria derived from its average contribution of 16.19% to the GDP for the period under study did not adequately impact on the provision of electricicty supply, educational and health facilities. Similarly, the proceeds from the exploitation of natural resources in South Africa derived from its average contribution of 3.02% to the GDP for the period under study did not adequately impact on the provision of electricity supply, educational and health facilities.
3. The role of the state in granting public ownership of natural resources, particularly, to the Multinational Corporations at the expense of the oil-bearing states engendered conflict in resource access while its role in the management of proceeds from natural resources did not engender conflict in Nigeria. On the other hand, the role of the state in granting and protecting private access and management of natural resources in South Africa did not engender conflict.
