Great move by the amiable president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria

I'm not a Niger Deltan but I've been living there for almost 10years Now, it is the best decision. If this crude oil is explored there, let the Hqts of exploring companies be there. LNG has done so. The people suffer a great deal in many ways in regards to the oil and gas exploration

The issue is let there be a gradual relocation, let one IOC relocate first let's see what will happen because those militants have long since forgotten Niger delta agitation, they have turned it to business because if truly they are peace loving like some guy said why are they hijacking ships and vessels along the gulf of Guinea that passes through their waters. Many of the vessels don't even have anything to do with Oil yet they still kidnap them and demand for ransome.

Iamwrath:
Buhari didn't need to fight militants , he only needed to warn their sponsors and from what i've seen so far , it's worked great

So its was warning DAT worked
Smh

....Yemi you are too good for the wailers to know what to say! step slowly.

TippyTop:


Are you really from Edo state?
How can someone from the Niger Delta protest relocation of company headquarters who're mining in the Niger Delta to Niger Delta? Do you know the number of people that would gain employment from this gesture?

Don't mind d imposter...na only lagos ppl wey go dey against dis news

StRichard:
What of borno, I thought they said they discovered oye there

this your "oye" made me log in after months. Hahahaha! no be only oye, ororo join too.

Having worked in the upstream sector the French IoC I can tell you that the headquarters of these companies are never coming back to the Niger Delta.

In fact they are moving more towards deep offshore assets that are all operated from Lagos. More than 800kbpd is currently operated from Lagos. With bonga SW and Egina coming we are looking at 1.3 or more barrels.

There will soon be more oil operated from Lagos than the Niger Delta. This is for obvious reasons, the IOCs have analyzed the situation and seen that militancy is more than a struggle it is now business and they are tired. TOTAL office next to Eko Hotel is there for all to see. The staff are free, happy and feel at home. They even know chilling spots pass you.

When I went to the trans amadi office l, it was like a prison. I kid you not, There are three high gates manned by a whole garrison. They couldn't go out freely, in fact the fishing team had their bus shot at the same day.

IoC try as hard not to post expatriates to PH, because it like a death sentence. In short they are tired, that's why you see them selling onshore assets to local E and P while moving to a more secure offshore location not even minding the heavy development cost.

So locating headquarters in the Niger delta is ship that has sailed past.

Best president so far ?

I really wonder what's maggots have eaten these politicians brains. They act like these events didn't happen for a reason. They didn't move because they didn't have anything better to do. Fact is the neglected their duty to upkeep secruity driving up cost for these companies. Now they looking stupid and don't know how to address issue.

hmm I hope the govt knows what it is doing this time.....


the ND could turn their backs in the future

Too late for Zoo.

Biafra all the way

Hope this is not another lip service

This government is a government of we will, we are about to, we want to, we are going to, until I see it Thomas can't believe it.

felixomor:

So u have been pretending to be edo, when u r not?

does that make sense

Let's see how this move goes.

right decision taken by osinbanjo to move the nation

Emassive:
It's not a law PYO. Why are you trying to score political point by saying what they will never listen to

My brother, Na so we see am oo. One can't force private owned individuals how to run their business. Seriously this step can't work. It's just a plight to score cheap political pull. Make we dey watch.

Afterall AGIP now (Enigma abi wetin sef) are about to finish their HQ @ VI and other IOC expanding their admin offices in lagos, most especially @ the ongoing Eko atlantic, smart and Ibeju lekki cities.

Good news. It's time to leave Lagos and go back to my state (Akwa Ibom).

Even though I am not in the oil sector, I can beckon that your statement is 100 percent true.

PapaBrowne:
Osibanjo is the real deal oh!!!!

If this man continues like this, he will make all the difference all previous leaders have failed to make.

The problem in Nigeria largely is a situation where the two largest tribes want to forcefully dominate and subjugate other tribes and they only way seen fit to do this is to prevent any factors of development from going to other places.

Osibanjo has put 1 billion Naira towards Ibaka seaport. That's impressive.

My plea to the two major tribes is for them to give Osibanjo all the support he needs. It's funny how the most vocal supporters of Osibanjo right now are actually The South South and the South East.

good move I don't mind him being president till 2023

edoboy33:
I know president osinbajo is trying to appease the raging rage of the Niger delta no wonder his recent visit to the region but relocating headquarters is no good idea the Niger delta militant might just take advantage of it if you know what I mean

MODIFIED
I THINK IF SUFFICIENT SECURITY IS PROVIDENT PROVIDENT THE COMPANIES CAN BE RELOCATED

No state in Nigeria is more secured than the other. Even in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa that are known Boko haram strongholds, there are still areas that are not easily penetrable for the insurgents.

There are kidnappers in Lagos and Abuja same way there are in Akwaibom and Rivers. There is wisdom in the directive of the Acting President. It is the responsibility of the government to secure investments/investors. Peace in the Niger Delta will be to the benefit of all. Let's give peace a chance and the Niger Deltans a fair share of the accruals of the oil from their domain.

shamecurls:
They or will probably go to Akwa-ibom if there HQ has to be in the Niger-Delta.



Rivers, Bayelsa, Edo, Ondo, Cross-river re totally out of it due to security.

P.H, Owerri, Uyo & Asaba will likely be their destination. Shell is already making moves to reclaim their estate in Owerri. Mobil will certainly pitch their tenth in Uyo.

Firgemachar:
Okay

Whatever will make our Niger Delta brothers happy.

Lagos wont miss the companies.

Bros abi na Madam u b. Lag go miss them like mad. All na private companies u no d revenue dem dey give lag?

Iamwrath:
This decision will backfire, but this also highlights Osibanjo's good intentions for every tribe in the nation


I said it will backfire because one day, sooner or later some ediots will have something to be angry about, and they'll destroy said facilities, loot it and kidnap workers


That's why they did since the beginning, that's why everybody left the region


The marafakas will start kidnapping and bombing stuffs again

Hater, deplorable bigot go and die if you don't want to see the Niger delta progress

Daily kidnapping.... ..

Ossy will do very well as substantive president given his body language as.a listening leader. A leader who assumes a god-like, unyielding and headstrong posture without a human face approach to issues concerning citizens is no leader. God rejects such people.

This is not a smart move . Oil companies must not be forced

You must be a Muslim Edo boy with Yoruba Muslim roots to speak like that

His Yoruba Muslim brothers are bitter with him, the SS and SE have seen something good in him, thats why for some weeks there have been no pipeline bombing and oil production is now at 2.2m barrels

calm down sir
