Awka Chamber of Commerce
Governor Willie Obiano has disclosed that the government of Anambra state will encourage Orient Petroleum to build its refinery in the state within nine months, even as the company had equally received a licence for cargo Airport at Umueri where it intended to also use as a dump site for ATK used for flying planes so that international flights would procure their supply nearby. The Governor said that a six lane road linking the airports to other parts of the state will be constructed.
He spoke when a delegation from Awka Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture paid him a courtesy call recently at the government house Awka, where he also revealed that when Orient Petroleum is completed, it would produce an initial capacity of twenty thousand barrels of oil per day which would attract oil and gas industries to the state.
The Governor also said that the government will also take steps to enroll the state into the membership of Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), even as the boundary adjustment with Kogi State is almost completed which has made it clear that the oil wells were in Anambra State. He affirmed that the state would soon approach the National Assembly for necessary legal framework to enable the state enjoy the benefits of being an oil producing state.
Earlier, the state president of the Chamber, Chief Ndubuisi Nwobu explained that the chamber came to inform the governor of the coming sixth Awka Made in Nigeria Trade fair which is aimed at promoting local goods

All these northern haters can actually go to hell. Their leaders are just corrupt n callous, otherwise why can't they try to develop their own vast mineral resources instead of coveting others.
The oilwells they came to claim are in communities that kogi state did not build any roads, health centers or things for. During elections,kogi state do not conduct any election in any of those places, so what is their basis of trying to annex their oil wells?

I wonder why igbo always claim what do not belong to them ole

Kogi state is sending one legged man to pushing contest.

Your contesting an Oil in anothermans domain.
You claimed to have oil yet you have not clear the bushpath for those that will drill the oil to pass while your opponent have awarded a N5B road contract leading to the oil rig.

You claimed its your oil you have not bought a jerrycan for scooping the oil, your rival have started construction of Refinery.

Kogi action speaks louder that words, your a captive in your on creation, free yourselves from stupidity and do your home work

Please post the source of your information so that it can be verified.

Other people have confirmed that a few of the oil wells straddle 3 states - Anambra, Kogi and Enugu.

Topic: As Jonathan declares Anambra oil state...Kogi stakes claim to same oil wells:


But speaking yesterday at the ceremony to kick-start his company’s oil refinery in Anambra State, Orient Petroleum chairman Chief Emeka Anyaoku said the controversy over ownership of the oil deposits has been resolved and that the ‘bulk’ of the deposits are within Anambra territory.

He however added that any state where oil was found and drilled by Orient Petroleum would be accorded due recognition.

“There was misconception that the oil well was not entirely in Anambra, that has been resolved through the map of Nigeria. Let me quickly state that the two oil blocks encompassed parts of Enugu, Kogi, Delta and Edo states but bulk of it is in Anambra,” Anyaoku said.

Haba, oil block or oil well.... that is not the issue. My earlier question to you was "post your source." Why is that so difficult to do?

I respect Obiano he is very focused.
Hope he continues this way.

NBC to fast track demarcation of Ebon​yi /Cross River boundary
Posted on March 17, 2014.

The Director-General, National Boundary Commission (NBC), Dr Muhammad Ahmad, has said that the commission will review the boundary between Ebonyi and Cross River to fast track the demarcation process.
Ahmad said in Abuja at the weekend that the commission would dialogue with the states so as to fast track the demarcation process.
He recalled that in 2013 the commission organised a stakeholders meeting with the states on the need to dialogue.
He said that three levels of peace committee were reconstituted to restore peace in the disputed areas as a prelude for the resolution of the boundary.
According to him, after the meeting, violence erupted around a sector of the boundary, which hindered progress toward defining the boundary.
“Efforts are currently being made by the commission to implore the affected local government areas and communities to allow for a peaceful atmosphere to enable resumption of work on the boundary,” he said.
Ahmad said that the commission`s technical committee met with the Anambra and Kogi officials in 2013 to resolve the boundary disputes.
He said that a joint field team was constituted to begin the tracing and provisional demarcation of the boundary.

He said that the team had traced about 75 per cent of the boundary before it was stalled because access to the river Anambra was blocked by water hyacinth. This is as at 2013.
“However, the team will resume work on the remaining sector soon and upon the receipt of the joint field team’s report, a stakeholder’s meeting will be convened to discuss the report and the way forward.”
Ahmad said that the commission held a joint meeting in Yenegoa with representatives from Bayelsa and Rivers on how to resolve boundary disputes.
“The technical experts of the states and the Federal Government identified measures to be taken to move the resolution process forward.
“But Rivers state announced its withdrawal from further deliberations in any joint delimitation and demarcation exercise in respect of the boundary until certain demands were met,” he said.
Ahmad said that the sudden action by the state stalled further actions on the boundary.
He said that Enugu and Benue states have expressed their readiness to begin field work.
According to him, the field visit will be undertaken as soon as the Office of the Surveyor-General of the Federation is ready.

We hope that at the end of the exercise, there will be clarity on how many oil wells are located in Anambra, and how many oil wells belong to Kogi, Enugu and other states.

The oil field belongs to Kogi State and not thief thief Anambra.

^^^You lazy murderous muthafuckers first need to focus your attention on that which is attainable; maybe like ending world hunger and training pigs to fly......after which you can then focus on shamelessly coveting your neighbours oyel wells!

I've just read a report that says your kinsfolk went in the dead of the night -like the stinking cowards you are- and murdered 4 innocent Aguleri indigenes in cold blood! I can see you've co-opted your bloodthirsty brothers (the bokites and Fulani herdsmen) to come give you a hand in your unattainable quest!

You lazy pathetic lot!

I don't blame the posters that are threatening fire and brimstone on Nairaland over this issue. I blame the refinery owners & exploration company that set up shop in that area, without understanding the basic rules of effective community relations!

While both the Kogi & Anambra communities were busy trading words over who owns what, the exploration company should have stepped in to pacify both sides and make them sheath their verbal swords before things got bloody!

The international oil companies learnt long ago, the huge cost of ignoring the needs or wranglings of their host communities and their neighbours. Do you think the term CSR and the millions channelled into such CSR programmes, are just done because those firms want to waste money?

No! Community unrest interferes with corporate operations, and leads to huge losses in monetary and physical terms!
