Preliminary findings by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited has revealed that there is crude oil in the Agwatashi and Assakio communities in the Obi Local Government Area of the state.

It was gathered that preparations are in top gear to commence its drilling in March.

Duke, in an interactive session with APC Stakeholders in Obi LGA on Tuesday, vowed that his administration would not relent until Nasarawa State begins to enjoy the 13 percent derivation as an oil-producing state.

The governor further said that the State Government would sign a Memorandum of Understanding with the NNPCL on February 18, 2023, to enable them to commence the drilling of the oil in Keana LGA without any hitches.

He hence appealed to the APC stakeholders to re-elect him during the 2023 general election, promising to bring more dividends of democracy to the people of the state.

The Governor equally called on the stakeholders to elect all other candidates of the APC from top to bottom.

He said:

“Preliminary findings have shown that there is oil in Obi LGA. This Saturday, February 18, the NNPCL and the Nasarawa State Government will sign an MoU to drill the oil in Keana LGA.

“In 2019, when I came out to campaign and mentioned oil, a lot of people assumed it was mere politics. That time, I promised that, by the grace of God, I will use my experience that I acquired from my stay in Houston, Texas, global headquarters of the oil, to try.

“As at that time, oil was discovered only in Keana. A lot of people didn’t even know the extent of the oil discovery. The issue of oil has now become a reality. Now NNPCL will drill the first oil well in March.

“I will not rest until we finally join the league of oil producing states and we begin to enjoy the 13 percent derivation. We expect to see appreciable progress by May this year.”

Sule also paid homage to the palaces of the Osuko of Obi, HRH Alhaji Aliyu Dangiwa Ogiri, and the Emir of Azara, HRH Alh. Dr Muhammad Kabiru Ibrahim II.

The APC stakeholders in Obi LGA in turn vowed to mobilise support for all candidates of the party so that they emerge victorious in the 2023 general election.
