Anambra's Journey To Officially Becoming An Oil Producing State(photos) by Anambra1stSon(op): 9:47am On Nov 24, 2021
Anambra’s journey to officially becoming an oil-producing state began in 2013 when Orient Petroleum Company, a private firm enterred into partnership with the state
government, and started producing oil in the Aguleri basin. But it is the Obiano administration which gave it impetus by designating Oil and Gas as his fourth Pillar of economic development.

In practical terms, Governor Obiano committed resources to stop the practice of accessing some oil prospecting facilities and wells in Anambra through neighboring states with the construction of the 280 metres Aguleri Otu bridge across Omambala river and the Umueje bridge. At Ogbaru Local Government Area years of illegal operations by Sterling Oil
Exploration and Energy Producing
Company of India in Ogwuaniocha and Ogwuikpele were checkmated while at the Anambra East Local Government Area end, claims by Kogi State over some oil wells are now subject to a fifty-fifty sharing formula, pending final resolution of the boundary claims.

Anambra's journey to oil bearing status is by no means easy, but the tough battle was surmounted thanks to Governor Obiano's wealth of experience in the sector, his doggedness, and deployment of competent hands on the task, the State is now officially an Oil Producing State. Consequently, in the books of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission, the State is entitled to 13% of the sale of petroleum resources from 11 oil wells in its territory, namely, Nzam-1, Alo-1, Ameshi-1, 2, and 3, and Enyie-1, 2 , 3 and 4. There is no gainsaying the positive impact of the new status on the revenue profile of the state as well as the anticipated boost on infrastructural development programme of the government in the years ahead.

Interestingly, the Pillar One: Economic Transformation agenda articulated in The People's Manifesto by the Governor-elect of Anambra State, Prof Chukwuma Soludo keys-in perfectly into the next phase of consolidation on the achievements of the four pillars of economic development of the Obiano administration. According to the Governor-elect: "We aim to transform Anambra State from a dorminantly informal commercial state to a Formal, Productive and Competitive Economy underpinned by rapid industrialization, Agriculture, Commerce, Entertainment/Leisure, and The Creative Economy, and Technology and Innovation, Solid Minerals and Oil and Gas."

All told, the building blocks of development for a safe and secure Anambra State laid under Obiano's blueprint for economic development where everyone has opportunity to create wealth is in sync with Soludo's new deal for a liveable and prosperous homeland.

Before Sterling Oil Exploration and Energy Producing Company of India started in Ogwuaniocha and Ogwuikpele in Anambra East, Orient Petroleum an indigenous company own by Anambrians started from Aguleri Otu in Anambra north,this is what they were going through then moving their vehicles and equipments with barges before governor constructed bridges within that location

Guy, even though i know the useless AFONJANESTERN miscreants will not comment on this thread because its not about IPOB, Military incursion,Death and carnage in the SE region. Keep showcasing the beautiful SE region to the World.

As for me i am an unrepentant Biafran...because i know that indices of development will increase as soon as a Nation Blessed By the LORD ALMIGHTY...comes to LIGHT!!

With BIAFRA massive developmental strides will quadruple, that is why the useless zombies from "KOGI TO LAGOS" lament constantly.

No matter your JOB in Anambra know that BIAFRA is the real Deal!!

Nice Job Bro!!...Pepper dem!!

I don't know where you people learnt your Geography, but as far as I am concerned, ANAMBRA is a country not a state.
The current president is Obiano while the incoming is his excellency Prof Soludo.

Don’t mind him joor!

He’s probably one of those that swallowed the ignorance that was fed them from Asari Dokubo’s well of ignorance who was shouting that Southeast is a barren land.

They have always been all over Nairaland accusing Igbos of doing attaché by force because of oyel.

But these pictorial evidences of oil fields in Anambra has bursted their stupidity and they are pained.

They will commit suicide when Supreme Court judgment that awarded about 47 oil wells to Imo state is finally implemented.

Please don’t mention Kogi that is dragging Anambra land because of oil.

As Onye Anambra, I'm always happy seeing some of the steps taken to improve the state because it is one that means too many.
But then, we supporters of these politicians tend to forget how transient power is.
In all that was said here, one will assume this step started in 2013. But NO!
In fact, what Obiano did was those bridges which are commendable, but as for Anambra being oil producing state, it has been a relay race won already and Obiano finished it.
I don't want to mention names, but keen followers of events in Anambra since 1999 till date will attest to this.
Thank you for the efforts.

That why we must plant trees around our neighborhood and environment in the cities of the South East.

Enugu is trying on the one. Owerri , onitsha and abakalilki should sit up in the beautification of our environment.
