Ondo state government on Friday said in the next two years, it would be on the world map for bitumen exploitation as arrangements have been concluded to begin processing of the natural resources in the state.

The Commissioner for Regional Integration and Special Duties, Prof Bayonile Ademodi dropped the hints in Akure at a meeting with Licencee Bitumen Companies Operating in the state.

Ademodi, who said some companies had been licensed to begin production in the state, noted that the essence of the meeting was to receive presentations from licencee bitumen companies on the level of work done in line with their workplan for bitumen exploitation development.

He reiterated that the present administration under the leadership of Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu was committed to providing bitumen investors, the necessary conducive atmosphere to thrive in the state.

Ademodi said, “Since the beginning of the present administration in Ondo state, bitumen exploitation project have been put in the frontline.

“This is the first time the ministry would be established for the purpose of overseeing the development of bitumen project in Ondo state.

“The major task of this ministry is to prepare grounds for the successful operation of these bitumen companies and the host community. But the ministry has taken it upon itself as a major task to develop a conducive operational environment for the bitumen licencee companies. So we are fully engaged with the community.

“I can assure the whole world that in two years time, Ondo state would be on the world map in terms of bitumen exploitation”.

In his welcome address,the acting Permanent Secretary in the ministry,E.O Ogunsanmi,an engineer,said the programme was borne out of the ministry’s avowed commitment to ensure that bitumen exploitation in state was devoid of crisis which is usually associated with mining, particularly, crude oil as we have it in the Niger Delta Region.

Ogunsanmi who also reiterated that the state governor was committed to the industrialization of the state and bitumen development was considered as a veritable means to transform the state from purely a civil service state to an industrial hub in Nigeria.

According to him, “The present administration has improved the road infrastructure, and this again will aid the movement of your products to the market”.

The Director, Project Manager of Kabara Mining Nigeria Limited, one of the companies that bid for the exploitation, Anit Wiener, expressed the readiness of his firm to begin work in the area.

Wiener, however, charged the state government to prepare a ground with the host community for the commencement of the project saying that the company could not do it alone without the support of the state government and the community.

He said, “We have bitumen licence that we have intent to establish, plant for separation and to finally take the bitumen from ground for the prosperity of the country, and the first exploitation would commence this year”.

Prophet777:
The intimidation and oppression of this IKEDC Officials is too much in Ojodu, Ogba and Ikeja here in Lagos. They will just stroll into your compound and start behaving like a demmy gods. No professionalism, that cannot even be found in their dictionary. Giving a uniform estimated billing ranging from N15 - N35, 000 to all the residents of Ojodu Abiodun and its environ now calls for serious concerned to avoid imminent break down of law and order. This has been going on for almost four years now.

For how long shall we continue to pay for darkness for God's sake ? Several letters has been written, I mean directed to the CEO but no reply nor our complaints addressed. If issues like this cannot be resolved diplomatically, the violence seems to be the only language they understand.

How can a man who has been on vacation with his family since October be confronted with a bill of N96, 000? While NERC seems to be helpless, I am calling on the FGN to expedite action on this issues of estimated billing and provide prepaid metres for Nigerians.

Asking for N3000 disconnection fees from each customers again, after admitting that customer's light were disconnected in an error is remains major source of concern. Transformer in our area in Ogunnaike and Ishaga has been bad for so long yet N15k bill keeps coming at end of every month.

This can only happen in Nigeria, but enough is enough.

You guys are giving yourselves a headache, your landlord association need to push for prepaid metres, you guys should raise money and lobby to make it come to pass.

We are hoping for the best as Mimiko did his very best
