The deputy governor of Anambra State, Dr Nkem Okeke, on Tuesday said the state was yet to confirm its oil producing status from the federal government.

He said as of the time of filing this report, there was no written document before him confirming the state as an oil producing state.

He said the state would liaise with the federal government to confirm the truthfulness of the matter.

He said ,”One Chief  Mike Emuh passed such information yesterday, but we are yet to confirm that from the Federal Government.

There have been media reports (not Punch) revealing that Anambra State has been recognised as one of the oil producing states in Nigeria by the federal government.

The oil-producing status of the state was said to have been revealed by the National chairman of Host Communities Producing Oil and Gas, HOSTCOM, Prince Mike Emuh, in the state during a briefing with the traditional rulers, where he also handed over the documents from the federal government.

It’s welcome development—Anambra Govt 

Anambra State government reacted last night on the new status of the state as officially an oil producing state, describing it as a welcome development. 

“The oil in Anambra is produced from marginal oil fields, which may not immediately attract international oil companies. For now, the oil is produced through barges as  opposed to pipeline drilling that carries large quantity of crude oil. 

“But we are grateful for this recognition, which will surely shore up the state’s revenue, even if marginally.”

State Commissioner for Information, Mr. C Don Adinuba,

Buhari/APC and her zombie supporter,sending buhari back to daura is a task that must be done..Period
