Senate Blocks Move To Recognise Kogi As An Oil-producing State by unclesuruoffi: 4:38am On Apr 25, 2019 |
Nigeria's senate during a plenary session on Wednesday, blocked move to recognize Kogi as an oil-producing state. The lawmaker representing Kogi East Senatorial District, Senator Isaac Alfa had moved the motion titled, ‘Need to Recognise Kogi State as an Oil-Producing State’. According to him, Shell BP (now SPDC), Elf (now Total Fina Elf) and Agip Energy commenced oil exploration in 1952 in Odeke, Echeno, Ihile, Anocha/Uchuchu, Omabo, Ikah, Iregwu and Ujeh, all in Ibaji of the present day Ibaji Local Government Area of Kogi State. According to him, the companies collectively drilled 25 exploration wells, two appraisal wells and eight core drill wells in Anambra Basin, with the majority of the wells in Kogi State.He further alleged that oil exploration in Kogi was abandoned until July 18, 2001 when a former governor of the state, Abubakar Audu, wrote to then-Group Managing Director of the NNPC to remind him of the discovery of crude oil at Odeke, Echeno and Anocha. However the move to recognise Kogi as an oil-producing state was rejected by the Senate, who however unanimously approved the prayer urging Kogi, Anambra and Enugu states to resolve their border disputes. Senator Magnus Abe stated that the Senate had no power to declare any state an oil-producing state, citing Section 162 of the constitution. Abe said, “In this entire motion, my colleague has failed to tell the people how much has been paid into the federation account from Kogi State that will entitle them to 13 per cent (derivation benefit). Without that, a declaration by the Senate won’t entitle them to anything. There is a big difference between oil-producing and oil-processing. They may be an oil-processing state but they have not contributed to the revenue of this country from oil. When they do that, they will become an oil-producing state.” https://unclesuru.com/2019/04/25/senate-blocks-move-to-recognise-kogi-as-an-oil-producing-state/ 14 Likes 2 Shares

Do they have oil in Kogi? Or is it that one in Anambra they are dragging? Kogi is an agricultural state and not an oil state. This oil everyone is dragging will soon become useless. 16 Likes 2 Shares |
