The Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma has said Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC) will resume work in Imo State after being off-site for a while.

Governor Uzodimma stated this after receiving in audience, Shell’s Managing Director, Osagie Okunbor at the Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja.

The governor said matters bordering on bunkering and theft of oil and company equipment were discussed with the conclusion of Shell returning back to site in Imo State.

“One of the observations of my administration upon resumption of office, was the fact that Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited (SPDC) had been off-site and suspended operations in Imo State as a result of insecurity, vandalism and illegal oil bunkering within the region,” the governor said.

“Having restored peace and tranquility along the coastline, today, I met yet again with the Managing Director and Chairman of the oil giant, Osagie Okunbor and I am elated at his assurance and confirmation of the company’s resolve to resume exploration in the State.

“This development is expected to create a ripple effect and economic boost for the growth of local contents within the region and the State at large while contributing to more developmental projects from the Government.

“On behalf of the Government and good people of Imo State, I express my profound gratitude to the management and staff of SPDC. Rest assured, that the State Government is committed to any partnership that would bring about the development of the State”.

I thought all the oil in Igbo land dried up and the remaining went on hiding in the west.
What is really happening?
What is Shell doing in Imo State?

Good development, I never know Igbos have oil too. I thought all the oyel are located in South southern states ?

Coincidentally opec increased Nigeria quota to 1.83mbpd yesterday. Nigeria is trying to ramp up oil production from it's current range of 1.3mbpd.

If imo was producing less than 2% of Nigeria total oil output why did Nigeria oil export nosedive? Why is the government through shell trying to resume oil production in imo state again.

Nigeria should be honest and give us the true statistics of oil production in the country

After Peter Obi talked about how he leased Anambra House in Abuja to cut the cost of running the state, I hated it whenever I see states building their houses in Abuja and Lagos.

BTW, I stopped reading when I read that Hope Uzodinma received the Shell MD at Imo State Governor’s Lodge in Abuja. Indeed, Nigeria is a very annoying country.

So eastern region have oil? After one over feed idiot said eastern region is a dry land.

this question should be coming from the efulefu governor in imo state,if this were to be in ondo state, expect Akeredolu to make the right statement.

Nigeria has always been scamming IGBOS, how did IMO State,non contribution to the crude oil exploration cause Nigeria oil production to reduce 1.3mpb, from it's initial 1.8mpb yet IMO State is tagged generating only 2percent of the entire oil.
