The Imo State Government on Monday said it had recovered 43 oil wells hitherto ceded to the neighbouring Rivers State.

The Coordinator for Petroleum and Gas Matters to the Governor, Goodluck Opiah, who spoke in Owerri, said that the economy of the state was looking bright.

According to Opiah, 22 oil wells were recovered from the Mgbede Field in Egbema, Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area, and 21 oil wells from the Akri Field in Oguta LGA.

He reveled that the development had placed the state as the 4th largest oil producing State in the country.

Opiah noted that the recovered 43 oil wells would improve the revenue of the State, adding that the recovered 43 oil wells signified the preparedness of the governor to correct the ills of the past.

He said, “The oil wells were hitherto ceded to Rivers State. The ugly situation affected the revenue base of the state as we were recorded as one of the lowest oil producing states in the country. But with the recovery of the 43 oil wells, the story has changed, as we have become the 4th largest oil producing state.” ,,

It will still not change anything

How far, those who are always mocking Igbos of having little oil.
I may not love Hope, but if this is the only achievement he has made so far, I'm 100% happy with him

It Will Be Looted Away. they will now go with 3% while the north will loot 30%.

The Injustice against Igbos won't continue.

Whether it will be well Managed is another case entirely.
But Nigeria politics is oil politics.
The more oil you have, the more relevant you appear.

Chai.. Injustice from every corner. .and yet they keep growing and blossoming like blossom Chukwu jekwu

God bless the Igbo race,the most resilient in this part of the world.

Those "our oyel" people, Igbo has oil and gas in abundance, nobody needs you for your oil.
