The Ondo State Government
has said arrangements have
been concluded to begin
exploration of bitumen
deposits at Agbabu town in
the Irele Local Government
Area of the state in 2018.
The Commissioner for Special
Duties and Regional
Development, Prof. Bayo
Ademodi, who said this at an
interactive session with
investors in Akure, said
industrialisation of the state
was important to the current
administration.
Ademodi, who said some
companies had been licensed
to begin the exploration of
bitumen in the state, noted
that mineral resources are on
the exclusive list of the Federal
Government.
He said, “We want to assure
you that your stay in the state
during the exploration will be
without any incident.”
In his response, a former
Minister of State for Transport,
Habib Aliu, who is the
chairman of Kabara Nigeria
Limited, one of the companies
that bid for the exploration,
expressed the readiness of his
firm to begin work in the area.

I Pray This Sees Light Of The Day. Several Past Administrations - Including That Of Olusegun Agagu Who Was From The Senatorial Zone - Have Promised Commencement Of Exploration, Yet Nothing Concrete Followed Such Promises.

For once they should see this thru. Government should be least involved in it to isolate the project from political interference

Plz OP check your topic and change your Exploitation to Exploration. Tenx!
