Oil producing state kwa? I thought Ogun is an erudite mining state?

ChiefJusticeFuc:
So you can be collecting free money from FG abi?

As for Anioma , I am totally in agreement that it must be carved out from Delta state.
The demographics has been altered with you displaced across the Niger people flocking in there .

You can carry Asaba join your eastern region dat one is not my headache .

DMerciful:
From kwale to Igbanke to Ika to Asaba to Ndokwa will for Anioma State.

“It is noteworthy that this is a region of the country that provides ease of access, low entry and operating costs, a safe and welcoming community and a very active state government support and participation.

This is a fact. Oil and gas extraction must not leave our environment destroyed for yet unborn generations o

The quest of Ogun State to be an oil producing State would soon materialize as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), sets to begin oil and gas exploration in the Gateway State.

Stakeholders in the oil industry, including the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, Managing Director, SHELL Petroleum Development Company Ltd, Mr. Osagie Okubor; Chief Executive, Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, Engr. Gbenga Komolafe and the Group Chief Executive Officer, NNPC Ltd, Mr Mele Kyari, stormed Ogun State on Friday on plans by the Federal Government to start oil exploration in the state.

They were received by Governor Dapo Abiodun and his Deputy, Engr. Noimot Salako-Oyedele.

Hon. Lokpobiri, who spoke at the governor’s office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta said Ogun State has always been part of the Dahomey Basin with prospect of having huge deposit of hyrdro-carbon.

The Minister said: “We decided that we are going to resume exploration in the different Basins; we decided to come to Ogun State to reassure the people that we have very high potential of discoveries here. Ogun has always been part of the Dahomey Basin and our presence underscore the seriousness the federal government attaches to the exploration activities that we want to carry out in Ogun State.”

Hon. Lokpobiri who added that oil and gas remain the quickest way to Nigeria’s economic prosperity, said his team is in the State in continuation of the campaign for exploration activities.

He said the visit was also to demonstrate the seriousness and commitment of the federal government to shore up its revenue through the oil and gas sector.

“Today we are here to tell the people of the federal government’s commitment to ensuring that we continue our campaign and exploration activities across the country. We are doing this exploration activities in several places across Nigeria and today we are in Ogun after which we will proceed to Sokoto State,” he added

The Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited,(NNPCL) Mr. Mele kyari, while speaking, said Ogun State is blessed to be in the Dahomey Basin corridor with expected high deposit of oil, assuring that the corporation is coming back in ernest to commence exploration activities, even as he expressed the hope that oil would be found in commercial quantity.

In his remarks, the Executive Director, Nigerians Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, Mr. Gbenga Komolafe, said the coming of the team to Ogun State is to further demonstrate the commitment of the Federal Government to grow the oil reserves and enhanced federation revenue.

“We all understand that Nigeria is very prolific in oil and gas, but then there is still need to grow the reserves through exploration activities given our huge hyrdro-carbon as a bench mark,” he noted.

Komolafe informed that the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) makes provision for the funding of the development of the Frontier Basins, adding that in line with the commitment and the aspirations of the government, the Nigerian Petroleum Regulatory Commission is working in synergy with the NNPCL to leverage on the PIA to aggressively carry out oil exploration in the Dahomey Basin.

[b]“The Dahomey Basin stretches up to Delta, Edo, Ogun and Ondo states. We intend to in the course of this exercise, cover all those states leveraging on the provision of Section 9, Subsection 4 of the PIA.[/b]This is good opportunity for the people of Ogun State and it would be complementary to the reforms and transformation initiatives of the governor. We want to congratulate the governor and the people for being the beneficiaries of this initiative,” Komolafe said.

Responding, Governor Abiodun said Ogun State is part of the OPLs 302,303 306, 307, saying the acreages present unique opportunities for the qualification as a Frontier Exploration State as defined in the PIA section 9.

He observed that the history and studies over the years allow any investment under the frontier exploration basin funding to not only realize the oil and gas potentials, but also acquire data that would aid Bitumen exploration and exploitation in Nigeria.

The country, Abiodun maintained holds the second largest resolves in the world of 42,b tons, adding that a lot of studies have shown the potential of the basins, which brings Ogun State to the fore and projecting it towards becoming a beneficiary to achieve commercial success and derive economic benefits from exploration and production within a minimum time schedule.

“It is noteworthy that this is a region of the country that provides ease of access, low entry and operating costs, a safe and welcoming community and a very active state government support and participation.

“Ogun State therefore presents some unique opportunities towards the realization of the full intentions of the PIA section 9 on frontier exploration as it will contribute to guarantee additional petroleum production of additional petroleum products for the country and afford more supply to potential refineries in the area.

“As a low hanging result, this area also presents the opportunity for Bitumen extraction, thereby reducing import dependency and bringing with its savings in foreign exchange expenditure on this single line item,” governor said.

I don't think that the gully erosion in the SE has to do with oil and gas extraction in the SS and SE. It's largely because of indiscriminate deforestation and poor building/ road construction planning.but if you have any interesting academic journal on it, please share.

The oil producing states have been receiving massive compensation and still does if you see the huge revenue allocations to them every month. They are not being creative and honest with the money they receive because the political will supports such corrupt system.
It is up to the people from those areas to hold their leaders accountable. If they don't, trust me, the oil and gas extraction industry is not what failed their future, it is their past, current and future leaders.

Oil producing state leaders are supposed to be investing massively in agriculture , education, environmental conservation, not building long stretches of roads, multiple bridges, massive houses etc as they are currently doing in sandfilled towns they create by destroying the little fauna and flora which serves as natural buffer and protection between them and massive flooding in the future. It has happened in Otuoke where HE GEJ destroyed a largely substantial part of their natural forest environment to build a Federal university, FMC, military formations, estates, bridges, roads etc. The environment gets so flooded that even he could hardly live comfortably in his house in Otuoke, Ogbia , Bayelsa state.

What is the point in building structures that will one day go underwater especially after the oil would have significantly dwindled. Smh

Buildings of any form - roads to houses - did not cause the modern day gully erosion problems in the SE region.
Oil exploitation did. Do a research to see how.

The oil producing areas of the Niger delta region redeive a pittance from the resources in their immediate vicinity. The difficult terrain of the Niger delta region necessecitates more percentage than what is given from derivation so far. Mich of the proceeds from oil is funnelled to the old Northern region through
proliferation of 20 new federating units in the old Northern region but a meagre number of 17 states in the two southern regions. Land mass or population figures is NEVER used as yardstick to proliferate too many states or regions in an area with larger land mass or population, in a country formed by different regions.
The 36 states political structure created by northern military dictators who created 20 states in one region but 17 states for 2 regions, remains the hugest FRAUD about Nigeria.
The oil producing areas of the Niger delta region should have become like Dubai if not that the proceeds of oil from the Niger delta region is denied the region.

FreeStuffsNG:
Gully erosion , including those in your SE, is a result of the interaction of land use, climate and slope. It has nothing to do with SS states.
The North is not responsible for the poverty in the SS. You're still in denial but for how long
I have shared with you what SS states can do before the real day of problems comes.

There has never been a monolithic North, some of the places you referred to as North are parts of Yorubaland and inhabited ancestrally by Yoruba while some parts of the North were even formally part of Cameroon.

Whoever is not faithful with little will not be faithful with many so please stop making excuses for the corrupt and poor performing leaders in the South who
[b][/b]produced convicted leaders like Late Alams, Chief James Ibori and but for perpetual injunction, may arguably have included Dr Odili.

Let's give to the oil producing areas the much they deserve, not ask them to be faithful with the little given them.
There are worse corrupt governors in the SW and northern regions than the Iboris, Alams, and possibly the Dr Odilis, in the SS region.

On independence day in 1960, we had Eastern, Western and Northern regions that formed independent Nigeria country.
Each of the three regions was quasi self-governing and were the three federating units of Nigeria.
But beginning 1967 - 1996, northern military dictators progressively turned Nigeria into a country with 20 federating units in the northern region, but 17 federating units in the two southern regions; with proceeds from crude oil in the Niger delta region shared to sustain the 36 states and Abuja federating units. This new political structure and resources proceeds sharing system unarguably confered excessive political and economic advantages to the old Northern region but emasculated the two southern regions politically and economically.

How else do you define a FRAUD if you don't see fraud in the 36 states and Abuja political structure under unitary government system?

I know there are Oil deposits in many parts of South West, just that our people are docile and never eager to push for anything, just to be blowing big big grammar up and down and be doing oversabi, whereas we are really losing out from the allocations that other regions are getting.
