The Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Monday ordered the Federal Government to pay $951m to the Bayelsa State Government as the 13 per cent derivative sum due as arrears of revenue payable to the state government.

He said, “Where the person to whom such a demand notice is issued takes no steps, he is deemed to have admitted the claims, thereby giving the other person the option of enforcing the claims by the available procedures for enforcement of undisputed claims. That is what has happened in this case. “In that case, I also find that the case of the plaintiff remains not only unchallenged, but admitted and therefore must succeed on the merit.
