The Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) on Thursday said that Anambra, Enugu and Kogi States can only be declared oil- producing states
DPR, in a letter to the Senate Committee on Petroleum , said the three states could only be declared oil- bearing states if the oil firm in the area, Orient Oil, scales up its operations from oil prospecting to oil mining lease.
The Ondo Central senator said that the committee wrote to the DPR “but their response was not quite satisfactory. That is why we want to hear from your commission.” “Kogi and Enugu State do not have problem; the two are in agreement. But Enugu and Anambra are not in agreement. Adaji said: “We carried out preliminary field work on Kogi-Anambra boundary, but the challenge we have is the document we are using, which was produced before independence.
“If we cannot rely on the map, we plead that the states should cooperate for us to come to a boundary that is acceptable to all.”
