The Anambra State Governor, Peter Obi on Thursday dismissed claims made by some groups and states over the ownership of the oil well discovered in the inland basin of Aguleri-Otu, Anambra East local government area.

Addressing the state in a special broadcast at the governor’s lodge, Awka, the governor said the financial commitments of the state in the oil project running in billions which other states and groups laying claims have not done.

Mr Obi said: “on August 30th 2012, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan – GCFR was in Anambra State on a one day working visit to commission the Orient Petroleum facilities among other projects.

“Since then some groups and states have been trying to lay claims to the ownership of the oil fields located in Anambra State.

“It is pertinent to recall that Orient Petroleum Resources Plc was formed during the government of Dr Chinwoke Mbadinuju in 2001 and allocated oil fields domiciled in Anambra State.

“Though Dr Mbadinuju did not make any direct monetary contribution. Under Dr Chris Ngige, in 2002/2006, Anambra State government invested the sum of N100 million in the project. Under our government between 2006 and 2009, with the vision and the belief in the positive impact of the project on the economy of the state and the country, we invested directly and indirectly the sum of N4.4billion.

“This investment blustered the confidence of other investors to invest in the venture that made its commissioning a reality,” the governor said.

Mr Obi however, maintained that Anambra state will remain a good neighbour and will continue to pray for oil to be discovered in other states of the country in other that Nigeria will emerge an economic giant in the comity of nations in the world.

Moments after President Goodluck Jonathan opened the refinery built by Orient Petroleum and declared Anambra an oil producing state, the Kogi State, Idris Wada said “Kogi will be a major stake holder in the refinery, considering the fact the oil wells that will service the refinery are in Odeke Community in Ibaji Local Government Area of the state.”

Mr Wada made this claim a day after a community group issued a public notice saying that the oil deposits claimed by Anambra State are within the Odeke community of Kogi State.

The Kogi State governor said he “is doing everything humanly possible to resolve the issues surrounding the location of the oil wells with the contending states and that he is confident that “Kogi State will soon join the league of oil producing states in the country.”

Acidosis:
oh yes, your village developed with ageing witches and wizards feeding on the worms..
tell us ur village, and I'll show u a land of bigots and perverts.

One_Naira:

Leaving does not necessary mean leaving everything including your hard earned money. Orient company should just sell the oil block back to Kogi state governor or another oil company. If that cannot happen, the next step is to follow mend footstep and destroy every single effort they put on the oil block meaning send it back to the way it was before they started drilling....a whole loss of money for their earlier effort but at least they would not feel cheated.

ujukala: Orient Petroleum Plc is going on with its recruitment. September 30 is deadline.

NRI PRIEST:

I was gonna ask the same question about the developed well in I kogi; But why didn't they say anything before now ? Something in me tells me they are hiding something. That single well is not enough for them to carry out drilling and make kogi an oil producing state,while most blocks are located in Omanbala. So,this is what I think: ;This dummies think by orient drilling in Omanbala and one well from their side happened to be explored,the feds will automatically declare kogi an oil producing state,alongside Omanbala. I think I captured the picture,right here. If not,why would they erupt in anger GEJ declared Omanbala an oil producing state and claimed they are also a producing state(with one well)
These were their dumb calculations; To ride on our surfering back to become an oil producing state,with a single well and still get the same amount of allocation....chaii,kogi peeepuluuu. Una get sense shaa!

omaigala: Lol. Remember, we have Ajaokuta steel company, Obajana cement company, an entrè port under construction @ Idah, coal @ Okaba, Gas deposit @ Itobe, Limestone @ Agwale etc. Good evening.

“It is pertinent to recall that Orient Petroleum Resources Plc was formed during the government of Dr Chinwoke Mbadinuju in 2001 and allocated oil fields domiciled in Anambra State.

“
The company was incorporated in 2001 and then it applied for the refinery licences in 2002 when the federal government threw open the refining business to independent companies. You know it used to be a monopoly before 2002. The refining business was a monopoly of NNPC just like NEPA before they threw it open to private generators. So in the same way, Obasanjo's government in 2002 threw it open to independent refining companies and Orient was one of 65 companies that applied at that time and ours was the first one to be approved and we had the licence to establish. It was given to us in May 2002 to establish a refinery and since then we've been working to establish a refinery.

Chudiking: Kogi people ur own turn will come, be calmed.,

Zeus I: ....you have all these and are still living in penury, kogites, sorry!

omayyi :
and you igbos leave in comfort, luxury and wealth, abi? Just like the type I saw in that sh1t hole called Aba.

Diligence: From a source recently, i learnt that this oil/gas is about 88% in Anambra, 8% in Enugu and abt 4% in Kogi. Please get it straight: virtually every state in Nigeria has some oil/gas but not all wld become oil producing becos their deposits are not commercial enough!

elujah1:
What will you do

omayyi :
funny cos my "source" also told me that 90% of the oil belongs to Kogi, 7% belongs to Anambra, while the remaining 3% belongs to both Enugu and Edo. My "source" lives down the street.

van bonattel:

Thank God for the stoppage of slave trade, the money from Aba only can buy up the whole masses in Kogi state.

omayyi :
wtf! Are u trying to tell me that some huge sums of money are being stashed up somewhere in Aba yet the town still remains a giant sh1t hole? What curse is greater than that, eh?

Acidosis: The last time I checked the Market, the cheapest thing was TALK.. It is cheaper than a cube of sugar..

I wasn't expecting any different afterall He is from Anambra st.

Our people don't talk too much, we don't make unecessary noise.
