Nigeria is situated in West African sub-region with a land mass of 923,768sqkm and a population that is presently more that 170 million people in 2012.
According to Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN 2012) Nigeria is the largest oil producer in Africa and the fifth largest in the organization of petroleum exporting countries (OPEC).
According to Budina and Van Wijnbergen (2008), the first discovery of oil in commercial quantities in Nigeria was in 1956, with reserves estimated from 16 to 22 billion barrels mostly found in various fields in the coastal regions of the Niger Delta.
