The federal government yesterday confirmed the discovery of crude oil in Borno State, North East Nigeria, thus raising the hope of the region joining the league of oil producing areas in the not-too-distant time.


The disclosure was made by the permanent secretary, Ministry of Petroleum Resources, Dr. Jamila Shua’ra, when she presented her welcome address at the presentation of the 2016 petroleum sector scorecard held at the auditorium of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PDF) in Abuja yesterday.


She brandished the discovery of crude oil in Borno State as one of the achievements of the ministry during the year, saying, “Our doggedness culminated in the discovery of oil in new frontiers – Lagos and Borno.”

Shua’ra listed other achievements of the ministry: “Today, as a team, we have recorded commendable achievements in our sector: the introduction of the PMS Price Modulation Matrix; the availability of PMS in all outlets; eradication of payment on fuel subsidies; located foreign direct investment to finance midstream oil and gas infrastructure; adopted exit strategies on Joint Venture Cash Call; robust engagement of host communities to reduce agitations; creation of more stable industrial relations,” she said.

Good, can we now have peace and let them employ these almajiris bombing and murdering innocent people around the North. Let their empty head leaders look inward , wish all states will discover oil by then we have a piece of peace in Nigeria and restructuring can take over and the country shall be productive under individual states, we then can call One Nigeria when Musa is so much busy on his farm, Emeka doing his business and Tope is setting up factories and all paying tax to state for development and the right of every Nigerian belong to a binding and common constitution where human rights, justice , fairness are champion. Only then we can say we have a country.

What's breaking about the newsis a good thing..at least naija delta will breathe a little

All I see are pictures of what they have been doing before: searching for the crude oil".
Perhaps a diversion to encourage sinking more national wealth there.
