I agree with what you said in the first paragraph, while you got it all wrong in the second.

The south south enjoys far more share of it oil proceeds, but corruption is taking a significant portion of it.

That is not true if the proceeds are shared according to number of states and local governments,do the mathematics,you are tryin to write about the 13% dereivation but it cost more to build infastructures in does regions that were left and needed to do catch up .In the past during the regonal system ,you get 45% of thr proceeds from your wealth to develop your land.

$3bn over 40 years! Money that should have been used to fight diseases, reduce illiteracy, for afforestation and recharging the lake Chad over the same 40 years.

This exploration isn't about the welfare of the nation but the pride of the north.

The people of Bauchi state will not organize themselves and pay this $3b exploratory cost, once oil shows up, every bingo will shout, "our oil"
If the NNPC didn't explore oil in the Niger delta, I wonder what will be flowing today, perhaps blood.

Group Managing Director of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, (NNPC), Dr. Maikanti Baru, has said oil exploration in the North would continue until the commodity is found. Native Reporters has learnt.

Baru said this would enable the NNPC do massive appraisal of the discovery of gas reserves, made in 1999 in the region.

The NNPC GMD, who was in Kaduna for the 40th edition of the Kaduna International Trade Fair, said the Corporation is working on the Kolmani River 2; with optimism and high expectation. He said President Muhammadu Buhari had personally urged the Corporation to go back to exploration on the Kolmani River 2 Well, and that drilling has been going on smoothly. He said that as at Wednesday morning, the Corporation has dug 10,075 feet deep well with a target to reach 14,270 feet exploration.

 “The main purpose of this well is to start some massive appraisal of the discovery that was made way back in 1999 of some gas reserves in Kolmani River 1 and, so far, the drilling has been going on smoothly to enable exploration.

“We will do the needful. If we need to probe any particular section, we will take our time to do it.

“Our target date is to see that by the end of May, we complete exploration on that particular well and move to Kolmani River III, which site is almost ready for the rigs to move there and from there, we move to other locations,” he said.

Earlier, the GMD said that provides an opportunity for stakeholders and long term exhibitors like NNPC to take stock of their participation through the years, with a view to consolidating on areas of strength, while working on avenues for improvements.

Dr. Baru said the loss of agriculture to crude oil exploitation has retarded local industries that feed on agricultural produce as feedstock, prominent among which were the textiles industry, as well as tanneries in the North.

Meanwhile, Baru has said there were no plans to increase the price of petroleum products for now.
He said even though there is an agency saddled with the responsibility of fixing petrol price, President Muhammadu Buhari has said there would be no increase in the pump price of petroleum products for now.

In the last four decades, the NNPC has invested about $3billion in crude oil exploration activities in northern Nigeria. However, the investment has failed to yield any positive dividend, as the state-owned oil firm is yet to strike hydrocarbons in such commercial quantity for exploitation activities to commence. While some Nigerians see the continuous investments in the search for crude oil deposits in the north as a waste, those in favour of the search remain optimistic.

Not just very very possible but that's the actual plan...no single crude oil in the north.

Their plan is to create large oil reservoir and pump oil from South to it then later claim, oil has been found in the north.

I believe..whatever comes from God is good and perfect,if they should steal and force oil on their arid region, it pray it becomes a curse to them..
Because if they had oil, NOTHING will keep Nigeria as one..they would have seen themselves as another Saudi, Qatar, and the rest. no room for infidels.

The Agadem oil field in Niger is just 120km from Katsina state explored from a rift basin, in Nigeria, even the Benue trough & Gongola basin possess such prospects, the downside is that when you dont explore, you will never know what you have got.
