In a bid to harness the full benefits of becoming an oil producing state, Niger State government has applied for two oil blocks.

The state governor, Abubakar Sani Bello, who gave the hint yesterday said the state is currently positioning itself and has engaged the services of an international firm, Whitepage International Consultant to guide its programmes.

Accordingly, the state government has created the department of oil and gas within the ministry of mineral resources and as well created two special companies namely Midland PetroGas Resources Limited and Midland Refinery and Petrochemicals Limited to fully participate in exploration and refinery activities on behalf of the sate.

Speaking at the ongoing Nigeria International Petroleum Summit in Abuja, Governor Bello who was represented by the state commissioner for Mineral Resources, Hajiya Rahmatu Mohammed Yar’adua, said the companies were set-up to fast track the quest to join the league of oil producing states in the country.

How many oil blocks does Rivers state have?

Asin like palm oil or groundnut oil

I don't get this arrangement. The southern oil is owned by individuals & FG, but the north have state owning 'theirs'.

Exactly. Is it that they can own it but refused to own it or Niger state is just playing games?

Is this how to diversify?

Oil is becoming worthless by the day while these northerners are still in fantasy land

Just look at these tricksters from the North, and the stunts they are trying to pull..!


Buy oil blocks and become oil producing state just like that abi?




Nigeria is cursed... We have a lot of resources deposited in the north like Uranium and co, the south, we also have precious stones... But Nigerian government chose to be stupeed, and run after oil alone..

The day uranium is harnessed in the north, be ready to have more bombs being made. Enriched Uranium is the main ingredient used in making bombs!
