Enugu Will Become An Oil-producing State Soon by wawaboy1(m): 12:52pm On Aug 19, 2012 |
Following the discovery of large quantity of crude oil in Iga, Uzo-Uwani Local Government area of Enugu State, the state is now set to join the league of oil-producing states in Nigeria. The chairman, Uzo- Uwani local government council, Mr. Cornel Onwubuya, who made the disclosure at Umulokpa, the council headquarters when he received members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Enugu state Council, stated that his council was also blessed with other resources such as silicon and agrarian land for extensive agriculture . Inspecting projects being executed by his administration, the chairman said that already, Orient Petroleum Company Limited has started lifting crude oil from the local government and charged the Federal Government to begin the process of listing Enugu State as one of the oil-producing states. Onwubuya said: “Oil was found at Iga community in Uzo-Uwani local government area, and one company called Orient Petroleum is at the moment lifting crude oil from that community. So I want to say that Enugu State will soon join the league of oil producing states in the country.” He further disclosed that available record showed that crude oil deposits within the local government area would last for about 100 years, while natural gas also found in the area, was estimated to last for 200 years. Onwubuya appealed to the Federal Government to ensure that the people of Enugu state, especially Uzo- Uwani people, benefit from the earnings accruing from the exploitation of crude oil and gas deposits in the area. http://nationalmirroronline.net/news/48968.html Am going home 1 Like |

All this is finally happening b'cos we have someone in Aso Rock not intent on wickedness and denying Ndigbo their due through wicked schemes like designating certain known oil and gas fields as 'reserves'. ![]() |

Trust me, oil is everywhere in the South including south west. It is only a matter of time. I was driving through Aninri area of Enugu state and what i saw on the ground indicated that there is some mineral there. I dont know what it is but watch out. This country is blessed with natural resources and political criminals as well. 1 Like |

But its realy unfortunate that the people/govt dont have the eyes to see it. |

Oil this! Oil that! Na wa o! Everybody wants oil. I want this country divided into 5 parts. Let all man bear his papa's name. That is when we 'll know who the real parasites are. I can bet my live that the parasites are more than we can imagine. What is South-East contributing to this country? What is the North contributing? The middle Belt nko? How about the South-West? Guy, the parasites plenty. Let someone prove me wrong. |

If this discovery brings about a sizeable increase in the revenue profile of the state gov't, and considering the 'working' Governor they have at the moment, Enugu state will have an irresistible gravitational pull within the next 2 to 3 years........unlike what's happening with some so called 'oil producing' states ( which shall remain nameless) that show absolutely no sign development. |

nigeria is blessed and its inhebitants re amazing, in nigeria no one is a secrad cow becos equality for all but we re carried away by fear and then throw away our rights. Saying parasites re much in this country is purely ingnorance becos every state and community re contributing verily; no discrimination becos one nigeria one nation. |

Guy, the parasites plenty. Let someone prove me wrong. Must you spew your ignorance here. If you must know,oil is been explored daily in imo and Abia state in south eastern nigeria. 50 percent of importation in nigeria is done by the ibos and you can imagine how much in excise/duties,royalty,and taxes are remitted to the government. Majority of local manufacturing industries in the country are run by the south eastern entrepreneurs and the offer employment opportunities to the unemployed populations The south easterners are mainly involved in commerce. Do you know how much that is remitted to government in operational levies and taxes? The only section of the country that contributes to the national coffers through human and mental sacrifice is the south east. 10 Likes |
