The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited on Friday announced the discovery of oil in Nasarawa State and said it was set to drill the first foot of an oil well in the Northern state.

It said the discovery was in continuation of its oil exploration activities in the country’s inland basins, adding that it would spud the first oil well in Nasarawa State in March 2023.

On January 5, 2023, The PUNCH reported that NNPC was prospecting for crude oil in more locations across the north, after discovering the commodity in Bauchi and Gombe states.

The report stated that NNPC was taking coordinated steps for more frontier exploration in the region, as part of measures to shore up the country’s oil output and reserves.

The company had disclosed this in a document on the frontier exploration services activities of the NNPC from 2020 to 2022, as outlined some prospective states where oil was expected to be discovered include Niger, Nasarawa, Sokoto, Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Bauchi, and Gombe.

Beyond the North, the Anambra basin was listed as another area where the NNPC was striving to find more oil.

Prospecting is the first stage in discovering the oil and gas fields, under which seismic surveys are carried out.

On Friday, NNPC’s Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari, announced the oil discovery and the planned spud-in when the Governor of the state, Abdullahi Sule, led a delegation of prominent indigenes on a courtesy visit to NNPC in Abuja.

Kyari, in a statement issued in Abuja by the corporation’s spokesperson, Garba-Deen Mohammad, said the results of exploratory activities confirmed the presence of substantial hydrocarbon resources in the state.

He called for prompt action on the project as the global energy transition had led to a reduction in investment in fossil fuels.

“This work must be done very fast because the whole world is walking away from fossil fuel due to energy transition, the earlier you go to market, the better for you,” Kyari stated.

He added, “Otherwise, 10 years from now, no one will agree to put money in the petroleum business except it comes from your cash flow.”

He said community support and a conducive environment were key to a successful operation in the area, in order to avoid the experience of the Niger Delta.

In his response, the Nasarawa State Governor, Abdullahi Sule, congratulated the NNPC boss on the successful commencement of oil production and the Kolmani Integrated Development Project which was inaugurated in November 2022 by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).

He commended the President for his support and assured NNPC of a conducive environment.

Good development....

Northern Nigeria to the world.

No more our oyel monopoly.

Patiently waiting for oil exploration in the North West.

North East and central has been represented.

I'm sure there's oil Bida, Niger State also.

Hnnnnm
Things happening so fast recently

That is great
A lot of valued natural resources but the country can’t boast of taking poverty out of its citizens

Wooo onto APC supporters
May APC happen to it’s all supporters

God is about to bless this nation with Peter Obi and rescue the common citizens out of bondage in their own country but some unfortunate youths choose to be phoolish

Vote for Peter Obi for proper management of all these resources

Good

Northern elites will still hand everything under their armpit while the common ones like you keep defending them online
Una go soon get sense sha

Oils will be discovered in the whole of the 36 state eventually

Now that they have finished plundering the oil in the South, they are now discovering oil in the North!

Interesting times ahead..

This news is somehow.

No key words and numbers associated with oil discovery.

Like name of well, depth, thickness of oil formation, estimated volumes etc.

Sounds untrue unless they are hiding things.

Nigeria needs to explore all her human, material and natural resources.

That's the only way you can sustain 200 million people. Don't depend on oil alone. I am glad about the lithium news. It's a welcome development.

Next emphasis should be on superconducting materials (silicone) for quantum computing systems. This is the future of computer technology.

It means nothing try to sell it if you can.

The Northerners are quite smart. They're in a rush to discover black gold before some Southern leader comes to pour sand in their garri

Central State. Or rather, South.


North is a fraudulent term fulani have been using to cage these South-Central portions of Nigeria into their satanic dominion to use their votes. Apologies to 0.1% Christian fulani.

Obaofaba:
I'm sure there's oil Bida, Niger State also.

Yes there's

Okay

How much oil was discovered? Is it in commercial quantity?

That’s the main koko . . .

Not that they saw just one bucket of oil 20,000 feet below the ground and started shouting that they have discovered oil

Clowns

I've always believed that north central has more prospect when it comes to natural resources than southwest.

God bless Edo State, the richest state in Nigeria.

God bless south south, the breast that feed the rest of Nigeria.


Meanwhile, death to all Tinubu supporters, except Oshiomole.

Wow

Our oyel.

Few weeks to election, north is now an oil field

There is no state that has no oil in the north, its just a matter of time

Even if they discovered 1 billion mega barrels in the North, the land will still remain poor. The North will still remain poor. Poverty is a state of mind. Even the northerners with millions in their account are still poor.


No matter how poor or rich you are, never marry a woman you did not disvirgin except you want to live a life of frustration.

A woman you did not disvirgin will fvck her ex the moment he shows up to her on Facebook or in the market and you will train another man's child.


Women are forever attached to the first man who fvcked them. Don't worship a woman who worships another man in her heart.


A woman who did not give you her best (virginity) should not expect the best from you.


Fvck any girl you want but when it comes to marriage, find a virgin woman. Only her deserves your love and devotion.

Nice development but coming @ a time crude oil is no more a reliable energy as many alternate energy sources have long been discovered e.g.production of biogas( e.g. Methane, Butane from faeces), conversion of light energy from solar panels etc.

They government promised to diversify from the oil dependent mono-economy but alas wasted huge chunk of scarce resources prospecting for an elusive but worthless crude oil in the global market. Guess they can now allow for a peaceful disintegration of this contraption called a country?

And what has your beliefs got to do with the reality on ground? I'll help you answer that....um NOTHING

When will they start killing themselves. They should do it fast.

Wow. At this rate, NNPC will soon find oil on the moon. Bunch of ethnic insane liars!

Rubbish news.
There's no any oil in Nasarawa State. Even if there is, it's not in large deposits.
Nasarawa State weh everywhere na stone.

Look, this is a lie.

Before you mention me to type rubbish, I'm a native of Uke District, Karu LGA of Nasarawa State, but let's stop spreading lies.

Nasarawa no get oil.

Solid minerals? Yes, we do have it! Liquid minerals? Mba! We no get!

Finally 13% will become more than 50%

Very good

As more oil is discovered so is more nigerians are falling into deep poverty so what is the use?
