Anambra State Will Join D League Of Oil Producing In Two Weeks Time by billante(m): 2:00pm On Jul 17, 2012 |
Anambra will in two weeks time formally join the league of oil-producing states in Nigeria. This will happen on July 30 when President Goodluck Jonathan will visit the south east state to commission operations at the new Anambra oil wells and to officially welcome Anambra into the fold of oil-bearing states. Transport & Business Express reports that the state government-owned Orient Petroleum Resources Plc has struck oil from three wells in Anambra North and that it has already despatched oil through River Anambra and River Niger to Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital in south south Nigeria, for export in three barge tankers. “The very light crude from these wells will continue to be exported till the Orient Refinery in Aguleri starts operation in a few months time,” said Uche Ezechukwu, a prominent Anambra indigene and foremost media practitioner who has a deep knowledge of the operations of Orient Petroleum. Started under the Chinwoke Mbadinuju administration, Orient Petroleum was incorporated on July 20, 2001 but went comatose following the exit of the Mbadinuju administration in 2003. “It was revitalized by Governor Peter Obi who injected N4 billion into it as the state government’s stake and has helped to do all the silent spade work that led to this happy state of affairs,” Ezechukwu said in a Facebook post this morning. Orient Petroleum is chaired by former Commonwealth Secretary General, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, and parades a powerful board on which sits the likes of former Nigerian Vice President, Ide Alex Ekwueme. Transport & Business Express reports that previous Nigerian governments had disallowed the exploitation of Anambra’s petroleum resources, declaring them to be on strategic reserve, while denying Anambra the status and benefits of an oil producing state. The policy has now been reversed by President Jonathan. Nigeria presently has eight oil-producing states – Abia, Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, Edo, Imo, Ondo and Rivers. Cross River was originally on the list but lost that status following last week’s Supreme Court judgment that ceded all the 76 oil wells previously belonging to the state to Akwa Ibom.

I guess the "Oil producing state" status of Cross River state will be relinquished to Anambra state. This is what FG want to achieve |

Hate the idea of exporting raw crude, every drop should be refined by Orient at least adding value to the crude oil and more money for the state government. The refinery should be completed very fast but I will want to know if the federal government receives royalties if the oil is only refined. |

APGA and PDP,developing a harmonous relationship,the conspiracy btw the previous Northern and west(yoruba)regimes to deprive Anambra and igbos in general from benefiting from their God given resources has failed!come 2015 we as igbos knows where our votes will go to!GEJ keep on with the liberation,kudos to you & peter obi! |
Re: Anambra State Will Join D League Of Oil Producing In Two Weeks Time by jbaur24: 8:34pm On Jul 17, 2012 |
If GEJ contest 2015 Ndigbo will vote massively, if not we will line up behind Peter Obi for presidency 2015. GEJ has awarded Onitsha-Awka expressway reconstruction, completed River Niger dredging and Onitsha Port, exploration of Anambra basin and making Anambra oil producing state. What more do we want ? |

maps plz. hard keeping up with nigerian topography. is anambra replacing cross river as per oil? now, i know CR is beside cameroon while anambra is to the east of river niger. but maps are still needed to get the general picture. |
Re: Anambra State Will Join D League Of Oil Producing In Two Weeks Time by Obiagu1(m): 8:41pm On Jul 17, 2012 |
Yeske!: The plan was to use the revenue from crude oil export to complete the refinery. |

Obiagu1:Ok but does it still mean the FG will still have royalties from the oil if it's only refined? |
Re: Anambra State Will Join D League Of Oil Producing In Two Weeks Time by kettykin: 10:55pm On Jul 17, 2012 |
previous Nigerian governments had disallowed the exploitation Ever wondered why alot of folks dont want GEJ to continue, by the time GEJ leaves office alot of reversals would have been done and some states that were last would be first and some first states will be last. Anambra should by all means avoid the mistakes of Nigerdelta and toe the line of Ghana |
Re: Anambra State Will Join D League Of Oil Producing In Two Weeks Time by manny4life(m): 2:43am On Jul 18, 2012 |
While I see this as a great move and sound economic idea, my fear lies within the thought that the present Niger Delta situation will be small compared to what's will befall Anambra if caution isn't applied. Yeske!: Probably. Govt will likely receive royalties on the raw material itself, then tax the finished goods processed by the refinery. |

This is great news. I feel pity for CR state. I just hope our Anambra brothers don't start denying being Igbo and start telling us that their ancestors came from Cotonou. |
Re: Anambra State Will Join D League Of Oil Producing In Two Weeks Time by Okijajuju1(m): 9:34am On Jul 18, 2012 |
Yeske!: THE FG owns the oil... WTF is royalties?! I can bet its a JV operation so the FG owns over 50% of every drop of oil mined.. |

afam4eva: lol Def, not Anambrans that I know, hard-working and foresighted people. They are already making and chopping money before the oil comes on stream. |
Re: Anambra State Will Join D League Of Oil Producing In Two Weeks Time by Afam4eva(m): 10:08am On Jul 18, 2012 |
jbaur24:You're right though. I actually think Anambrarians are the last people that will deny their Igboness. |

Re: Anambra State Will Join D League Of Oil Producing In Two Weeks Time by kettykin: 11:28am On Jul 18, 2012 |
This should serve as a big lesson to ikwerre nd other rivers igbo indigenes who because of barrell of oil denied and sold their brith right , i hope all igbos will be matured enough to receive them as prodigal sons and daughters. The sun is gradually setting for those who plundederd, exploted,betaryed and raped the East for the sake of oil that is not even theirs and rising for the East. |
