Answer:

Explanation:
Rivers State, located in the Niger Delta region, is one of Nigeria’s key oil-producing states. The state capital, Port Harcourt, is a major hub for Nigeria's oil and gas industry. The oil wealth from Rivers and other Niger Delta states has significantly contributed to Nigeria’s economy, making the country one of Africa’s largest oil exporters.
