North East Govs ask Tinubu to Revive Oil Exploration in...








原文原文 / Original Text

The North-East Governors’ Forum (NEGF) has called on the Federal Government to revive stalled oil exploration activities in Borno State, even as it commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for the ongoing revival of the Kolmani oil drilling project in Gombe State.

The appeal was part of a communiqué issued at the conclusion of the 13th regular meeting of the NEGF, held at the Borno Government House in Maiduguri, on Saturday.

The two-day summit, which ran from October 2 to October 3, 2026, brought together governors and top officials from the six North-Eastern states—Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe—to deliberate on regional security, economic integration, and infrastructure.

Reading the communiqué, the Forum’s Vice Chairman and Governor of Adamawa State, Rt. Hon. Umaru Fintiri, urged the Federal Government to revisit petroleum exploration activities that had earlier commenced but subsequently stalled in the Magumeri and Gubio Local Government Areas of Borno State.

The governors expressed deep appreciation to President Tinubu for renewed federal attention on key regional infrastructure projects.

These include the Port Harcourt–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Maiduguri rail corridor, frontier oil exploration at Kolmani, and the Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Biu–Maiduguri highway.

Reflecting on its six-year journey since its inaugural meeting in Gombe in March 2020, the Forum touted regional unity as its most significant achievement, enabling a collective voice that has driven tangible developmental results.

On energy, the governors praised member states for shifting toward a regional energy agenda, highlighting the Dadinkowa hydropower plant, which now feeds the national grid, and encouraged states to leverage the new electricity law and abundant solar resources to expand mini-grid solutions.
