Exploration activities in Benue state may be gradually yielding success as a quantity of crude oil has been discovered.

It is however not yet known if the discovery would be of commercial quantity, but the deputy governor of the state, Engr Benson Abounu, is urging the federal government and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) not to relent.

Oil exploration north

The excitement came as the sole administrator of the Apa local government in the state, Danjuma Solomon, visited the deputy governor to brief him on the discovery of the product in his domain.


According to Solomon, oil seepage was discovered in his local government.

He also spoke about the further discovery of exploratory oil wells drilled in the 1960s by Chevron Nig Ltd.

Engr Abounu said, based on results of several geological investigations, the government was convinced that the state had oil and that exploration is just what was needed.

Benue News reports that Abounu urged the federal government to intensify the search.

In August, 2016 President Muhammadu Buhari reportedly ordered the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to search for oil in state.

for your mind now you don occupy space?


And the governor is celebrating? Does he want to destroy his land.

good....

I doubt the fg would do anything as the NC is not regarded as true north...

What a truthful pity...
I advise that if they are true with their conviction they shouldn't solely rely on fg but also engage private investors.

Good one.

How many times will the North discover oil and the next thing $2billion will be pumped in for exploration.



Who is fooling who

I wished they had discovered Buhari’s brain.

Seriously

The topic and the body of the report said "Northern Nigeria"
I actually became elated when I read that....until I realized that it was Benue state where the discovery was made.

Typical.
When it favors the north, Benue state is referred to as "north" When it doesnt suit their purpose, they remind them that they are the "middle belt"

Another bad news for awa oyel pipu

Actually, its good news to them.
Seem you are ignorant of the political dynamics such a discovery implies. The only thing that made it not so good news is that it happened in Benue.

The average man from SS/SE is praying for oil to be discovered in the core north, so they can ease off their parasitic relationship with the rest of this thing that calls itself a country.

Explore after you discover

If fuel is discovered in Benue the core north will not let them enjoy it. They'll marginalize those people to death.

Now watch how the "tivs and the idomas" would start battling for control of the oil revenues and the location of its resources while forgetting about other viable revenue earners in the state!


Pathetic!

Buhari Be like...

We benue youth wants total control of our oil .

You mean there was Excrement found in Benue that is oily

OK o...!! We dey wait weda e go reach one drum.....

Noo. They should discover oil in sokoto

OZAOEKPE:

soon you go see am with long article agitating for resource control

That guy can betray his for the sake of Buhari and the northern agenda.

Benue North? I don't know why people keep saying that shit. It's good to travel and know your country very well.

Crude oil or DUST

They were sinking a borehole in my personal property in the villa and they struck oil, instead of water, oil is coming out, what should I do? I seriously need to be guided.

Like you have rightly said, we are reserved cuz oil has never been a blessing to Nigerians and it might not be in our case either. we generally tagged "north " but the Hausa/fulanis/Muslims considered themselves more northerner than the Benue/middle belt/Christians.can anyone member the crises that engulf ed ABU when one Benue/Tiv prof Saaor was in the 90s made the Vc of Abu?

Blessing and a curse!!!

which kind consolation be that, wait until good quantity is discovered then pup champagne.
