OIL DISCOVERED IN NORTHERN NIGERIA - Production To Begin Next Year

Yes! That's Right. Not Niger Delta(south-south) but Nortnern Nigeria, precisely the Chad Basin (Borno State).

The Northern Nigeria Development Company (NNDC) on Friday, said it would begin oil and gas exploration in the north- east in the first quarter of 2016.
The chairman of the company, Bashir Dalhatu, stated this while briefing journalists at NNDC’s 47th Annual General Meeting (AGM) in Kaduna.
Mr. Dalhatu said the company was collaborating with its technical partners and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), on the expertise and budgetary requirements for the take-off of the project.
The company’s Group Managing Director, Ahmed Musa, said NNDC could not commence the project as earlier planned due to the security situation (boko haram insurgence) in the region.

We hope this discovery will ease the tension in the Niger Delta which before now had been the only region producing Nigeria's oil and gas.
