The 19 northern state governments have appointed a British firm to carry out oil exploration activities in the region.
Chairman, Northern Nigeria Development Company, owned by the 19 northern state governments, Mallam Bashir Dalhatu, at the weekend, said the company had commenced its prospects for oil and gas in the Lake Chad and Benue basins.

He made the disclosure when the company’s board and management visited Kastina State governor, Aminu Masari.


His words: “We have engaged a British company that is already working in the Lake Chad region and from Niger and Chad side in the same area with us and we have been meeting with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in order to put efforts together.

“The Federal Government has also re-emphasised to us, during those meetings, its total support for exploration and exploitation of oil and gas in the North-East of the country.”

The so called South South and Niger Delta can now see how foolish they have been. Very soon the North will be championing secession and you guys will be on the other end of the stick. Abuja plus oil in the north nails you guys finally.

The whole south not just the ND will rollout drums in celebrations should the north call for secession.

It will be an answer to long-awaited prayers.

I bet you when it happens, the South South and Niger Delta will be the ones championing Nigerian unity but it would fail because the North have played you out neatly. With Abuja as their capital city and their oil, you will be wriggling like a cut off tail of a wall gecko.

God of Isaac,Jacob and Abraham please let oil be discovered in the North so we can all have peace of mind.
May the oil be 100 times in quantity than that of ND and I pray the Northerners don't ever get d opportunity to rule this Country again.

Miraculous oil please appear in the North in Jesus name, I am tired of Northern idiots ruling this County.

Abuja will become subject of negotiations cos it's the federal capital and not a northern state.

Their oil you say I don't want to call you a clown but you need to realize there are major international oil companies involved in ND who would have to decide on whose side they'll belong cos as investors recouping their investment is paramount.
