Following the discovery of large quantity of crude
oil in Iga, Uzo-Uwani Local Government area of
Enugu State, the state is now set to join the league
of oil-producing states in Nigeria. The chairman,
Uzo- Uwani local government council, Mr. Cornel
Onwubuya, who made the disclosure at Umulokpa, the council headquarters when he received
members of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ,
Enugu state Council, stated that his council was also
blessed with other resources such as silicon and
agrarian land for extensive agriculture .
Inspecting projects being executed by his administration, the chairman said that already,
Orient Petroleum Company Limited has started
lifting crude oil from the local government and
charged the Federal Government to begin the
process of listing Enugu State as one of the oil-
producing states. Onwubuya said: “Oil was found at Iga community in
Uzo-Uwani local government area, and one
company called Orient Petroleum is at the moment
lifting crude oil from that community. So I want to
say that Enugu State will soon join the league of oil
producing states in the country.” He further disclosed that available record showed
that crude oil deposits within the local government
area would last for about 100 years, while natural
gas also found in the area, was estimated to last for
200 years.
Onwubuya appealed to the Federal Government to ensure that the people of Enugu state, especially
Uzo- Uwani people, benefit from the earnings
accruing from the exploitation of crude oil and gas
deposits in the area. http://nationalmirroronline.net/news/48968.html
