Useless leaders na only Oil dem know any other technological and modern innovation means to generate funds to finance the state dem know sabi anything.
Useless set of leaders as if dem designate the state now E go use the oil money to turn the state to New York Paris Rome Dubai London Los Angeles Lisbon Berlin.
All the Oil producing states in Nigeria still look so poor and dirty. No meaningful infrastructural projects no good roads no good affordable housing units for average citizens of the state. No technical and innovation hub. Nothing to show that they are oil producing state. This Oil has cause a huge problem to Nigeria as a whole. Oil oil oil oil Everytime.

It is high time these guys realises coal is not oil.

Since the declaration of Anambra as Oil producing state many has not gone to sleep with sound mind.

Come to think of it.


Kogi State - 29,833Kmsq
Enugu State- 7,161kmsq
Anambra - 4844Kmsq


All documents clearly points to one location, so Nigeria boundary commission should stop playing politics and call a spade a spade.

Enugu should stop chasing dead case because Kogi state will be excised off with time when NBC is done playing politics.
Your post shows your limited knowledge of the subject.

The Kogi/Enugu/Anambra border dispute has been an ongoing case for over a decade.

I was part of a Boundaries Commission delegation to the area in 2008 and seismic reports confirmed commercial oil in the Anambra basin at the boundary of all 3 states, with similar amounts in Enugu and Anambra as per the current boundary delineation, however the tricky bit is Kogi claims their true boundaries lay further into Enugu and Anambra, with documents provided of similar land disputes dating back to the 1960's.

The case has gone beyond just defining who has oil to redefining state boundaries, but NBC is clearly not funded as at yet to deliver this judgment truly and impartially.

Psalmistproject:
Enugu was the capital of Anambra. It means from time immemorial the entire territory (ie old eastern region) was controlled by Enugu. If their are resources along it's boundaries what Anambra, they should have a say.

Boundaries belong to States whose lands were earmarked to create it you cannot establish a boundary with kogi without cutting across another States boundary especially states at closest proximity.
So we are still in 1986 abi that you walk into another state to claim their resources?

Capital of Anambra state as it stands now is Awka.

Even old companies confirms the boundary to be in anambra.

So sleep, your 2008 commission was partial.

Stop posting nonsense. If you claim that Enugu has oll, then go and start developing it let's see. If you have one spoon of oil, no investor can come there.

Anambra has commercial quantity of oil and gas with over 15 wells. Today there's Sterling oil from India producing/mining oil at Ogbaru area of Anambra while Orient is at Otuocha areas of Anambra also mining.

You cannot get oil status without investment in the production. In a nutshell, Enugu doesn't have oil.

I've no idea why you're pulling out your hair over my comment.

Yes, you can get oil status without investment in production in Nigerian law. There are no other prerequisites other than commercial finding of oil.
Unless you're privy to a different law than the rest of us.
Don't let your sentiments get in the way of reasoning

[/s] Some people will just stay in futa jalon and be spewing nonsense! Because you read that "Enugu is a coal city" which means no other parts of the state has any other mineral resources.
