They were received by Governor Dapo Abiodun and his Deputy, Noimot Salako-Oyedele. Lokpobiri, who spoke at the Governor’s Office, Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, said Ogun State has always been part of the Dahomey Basin with the prospect of having a huge deposit of hyrdro-carbon. In his remarks, the Group Managing Director, NNPCL, Mr. Mele kyari, said Ogun State is blessed to be in the Dahomey Basin corridor with expected high deposit of oil, assuring that the corporation would come back in earnest to commence exploration activities, even as he expressed the hope that oil would be found in commercial quantity.
“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 the provision of Section 9, Subsection 4 of the PIA. This is a 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.
“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. The Chief Imam of Daaru Na’im Central Mosque, Sheikh Imran Abdulmajeed Eleha, has cautioned beneficiaries of zakat disbursement against abusing the gesture by turning themselves into permanent recipients of the proceeds.
