Nice development! Guess they're aware the world have long moved away from oil to alternate energy source.Crude oil is now obsolete.

Meanwhile, they know this fact for a long time but the NNPC choose to go on a fruitless exploration in the BH terrorist infested Lake Chad Basin & other unviable locations up north.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on Thursday said the volume of crude oil discovered in Benue Trough was in commercial quantity.

It said Nigerian geologists were spearheading efforts in the discovery of the commodity in the trough.

The corporation’s Group Managing Director, Mele Kyari, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja by NNPC’s spokesperson, Kennie Obateru.

In October last year, NNPC announced the discovery of hydrocarbon deposits in the Kolmani River II Well on the Upper Benue Trough, Gongola Basin, in the North Eastern part of Nigeria.

In its statement on Thursday, the NNPC said it would grow the nation’s hydrocarbon reserves to 40 billion barrels through reinvigorated exploratory activities in the inland frontier basins across the country.

Kyari said the strategy was to aggressively explore for more oil in the frontier basins in order to grow the nation’s reserve base in line with the Federal Government’s aspiration to hit the 40 billion barrels reserve target.

He said NNPC’s key aspiration was to grow the nation’s hydrocarbon reserves, reduce unit operating cost of crude oil production to $10 per barrel and improve efficiency across its businesses.

He was quoted as saying, “It is my pleasure to appreciate the good work and resilience of our in-house professionals in the ongoing inland basins exploration activities that culminated in the recent discovery of hydrocarbons in Benue Trough.

Edward Nnachi, Abakaliki

An Ebonyi State Chief Magistrates’ Court sitting in Abakaliki, on Thursday, remanded one Ndubuisi Ogbonnaya in the custodial facility for allegedly defiling a six-year-old child.

The suspect, a 27-year-old, was said to have taken the victim to his house and violated her.

The victim’s father was said to have noticed that blood was gushing out from her private parts and demanded to know what happened after which the girl told him.

The accused, who was married with four children, reportedly committed the offence in Asaga village, in the Afikpo South Local Government Area on August 4, 2020.

He was arraigned on one count of unlawful sexual intercourse.

The charge read, “That you, Ndubuisi Ogbonnaya, sometime in August, 2020, in Asaga Owutu Edda, within the jurisdiction of Abakaliki Magisterial District, did have unlawful sexual intercourse with a child, aged six years, thereby committing an offence punishable under Section 34(2) of Child Rights Law and Related Matters, 2010.”

The accused, who was not represented in court, confessed to the crime.

However, the chief magistrate, Mrs Nnenna Onuoha, said the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the case.

She directed that the suspect be remanded at the Nigeria Correctional Centre, Abakaliki, while his case file should be transferred to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for legal advice.

The matter was adjourned till November 27, 2020.

Omenka suddenly loves Wike, isn't God wonderful!

Mind you, his Benue state is perpetually living in fear of fulani but that's not his headache.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has urged Nigerians not to allow parochial, sentimental politics to destroy the country, insisting that he has no regrets proscribing the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB) in the state due to his belief in the country’s unity.

He charged Nigerians to rise up to protect and defend the interest of the country at all times.

Wike stated this when a delegation of Coalition of Northern Groups (CNG) visited him at Government House, Port Harcourt, to commend him for his efforts and dedication to protect the interest of ethnic groups resident in Rivers State.

The governor said the #EndSARS protests were peaceful in the state until IPOB hijacked it, and committed arson by killing six army officers, four police officers and burnt police stations and courts.

“As governor I cannot seat and watch such lawless acts to be perpetrated by people a group that has been proscribed by the Federal Government to cause ethnic war in my state. Without any apologies, I am a true Nigerian. I believe that things must be done properly in a way that every component part of this country will be satisfied,” he stated.

Governor Wike, restated that he was not against any ethnic group in the state, including law abiding Igbo, but maintained that as a governor, he could not tolerate a situation where some misguided persons under the guise of IPOB would unleash mayhem innocent Nigerians in Rivers State.

He explained that if the State Security Council were not proactive in imposing curfew on Oyigbo Council Area, the situation would have degenerated into war between the Igbo and Hausa community residing in the area.

According to him, the decision forestalled ethnic reprisals that would have led to total breakdown of law and order in Oyigbo and Diobu areas of the state.

Wike said Nigerians should stand against injustice at all times no matter who is involved and be determined to work for the interest of the entire country, stressing that he was a true Nigerian and would continue to work for the country’s indivisibility.

Spokesman of CNG, Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, said they visited the state to express their gratitude to Governor Wike for his leadership, sacrifice, statesmanship and unwavering commitment in protecting Northern communities from the violence and violation of their rights and dignity during the Oyigbo crisis.

DaBullIT:
Anyone ever called CNN fake news other than Trump?

Nigerians at least the sane ones believe investigations and reports from CNN because it's factual. If anyone ever doubted CNN it's because Nigerian media or the elites pushed out a narrative to rubbish the report
