ABSTRACT
The study focused on the influence of oil and gas accounting on the economy of Nigeria. The oil industry has undoubtedly brought economic benefits to many people but it has left its trial a complex mix of environmental pollution problems such as pesticide contamination, increased incidences of cancers from carcinogens, lock of access to clean water, toxic waste and unsustainable extraction of resources and the most riotable of which is oil pollution and physical destruction of landscape. The study made use of a survey research design where data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the chi-square (X2) statistical tool. The study revealed that oil and gas accounting actually influence the economy of Nigeria. The study concluded that significant influence exists between oil and gas accounting and employment generation, infrastructural development, foreign direct investment and foreign exchange earnings. Oil and gas is therefore a real source of capital formation for the economic take off of a country that puts its oil resources to a good use. It is recommended that there should be increase in social responsibility activities of oil companies as well as increase in government spending on development programmes in Niger Delta. Additionally? In order to reduce the incidence of sabotage of pipelines as a result of bunkering, youths in the Niger Delta should be given employment by oil companies operating in that region.
