            purchasing/divestment resolution against Nigeria
Contact: Nasiru Ikharo  at +1(317)216-4590 or PR@FreeNigeria.org

Tuesday, September 30, 1997

        The County of Alameda, in the State of California, U.S.A,  today
(September, 30, 1997) adopted a binding resolution  prohibiting the
County from  contracting with or purchasing from those who do business
in or with Nigeria.  This followed the recommendation of the September
22nd , 1997 meeting of the County's Personel/Administration/Legislation
Committee, which recommended inter alia  that the County should adopt a
selective purchasing/divestment policy against the General Sanni Abacha
led illegal Nigerian military junta, which illegally seized the
electoral mandates of all the duly elected representatives of the
Nigerian people, including the detained legitimate President of Nigeria,
Chief Moshood K.O. Abiola.

        The issue of Nigeria was brought before the Alameda County Board
of Supervisors', and coordinated thereafter by the Free Nigeria Movement
(FNM), an effort which led the Board of Supervisors' President, Mr.
Keith Carson to thank the President of the Free Nigeria Movement, Mr.
Tunde Okorodudu for the continued efforts of the Free Nigeria Movement
to bring the plight of Nigeria before a global audience.

       Economically, this is the most important action taken against the
military regime of Sanni Abacha and the Nigerian military in the
country's 37 years of flag independence. Unconfirmed estimates value the
direct economic impact of the Alameda sanctions on business interests
which are in, or do business with Nigeria somewhere in the range of
US$200 million and above in lost revenue.

    Especially effected by this resolution are Coca-Cola, Chevron Oil,
Shell Oil and Motorola, all of which are major beneficiaries of the
County's US$ 1.25 billion annual budget.

    The County of Alameda has under its jurisdiction the cities of
Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward,
Livermore, Newark, Oakland, Piedmont, Pleasanton, San Leandro and Union
City.

    The Alameda County ordinance is the first of its kind at the county
level, although the towns of Amherst and Cambridge in the State of
Massachusetts, as well the cities of Oakland and Berkeley in the State
of California have passed similar resolutions.  Tomorrow, October 1st,
1997, Free Nigeria Movement activists are scheduled to present a similar
ordinance before the Austin City Council, in the State of Texas..

        The FNM wishes to thank everyone involved in this endeavor, and
to again request that all foreign businesses involved in the Nigerian
economy immediately divest all their shares and effect a total pull out
from the country, till the democratically elected legitimate
representatives of Nigeria have their mandates restored, and decide on
the modalities for the return of foreign investments and investors.


Long live Freedom, Long live the Free Nigeria Movement, Long live the
Federal Republic of Nigeria

On behalf of the Free Nigeria Movement:
Sincerely,

Nasiru Ikharo,
National Information Secretary, FNM
