Kolmani Oil: APC Chieftain Lauds Buhari for Breaking Jinx of Oil,Gas Economy Politics
The Director Media and Publicity , Presidential Support Committee (PSC) on the achievements of President Muhammadu Buhari in Kaduna, Engineer Kailani Muhammad has said the discovery of oil deposits in the North will put an end to the much touted and misplaced propaganda that the North is dependent on the South for sustenance.
He expressed satisfaction that finally President Muhammadu Buhari broke the jinx of Oil and Gas economy politics by dragging the net around the country in his efforts to beef up the nation's treasury trajectory.
The Chief Executive Officer of Northern based Liberator Newspapers, however said Nigerians should know that , "The oil and gas discovered in Gombe and Bauchi cannot be consumed by the indigenes of the two states alone, but it is for the benefit of the entire nation.
"What the generality of Nigerians want is; the diversification of the economy by the state Governors who wait in overseas locations only to come back to Nigeria when the free money from the Federation account is ready for collection." He added .
Engineer Kailani Muhammad who stated while briefing journalists at the weekend on the giant strides of President Muhammadu Buhari in the Oil and Gas Sector, said the discovery of oil and Gas deposits in the North will boost the capacity to transform Nigeria’s energy potentials and rank as one of the greatest global energy boardrooms.
Kailani ,who is also the Coordinator of Network for Election Education, Sensitisation and Awareness, noted that apart from the Gombe Bauchi discovery, there are other locations in the Northern part of the country with large deposits of hydrocarbon.
He further hinted that the deposits will generally impact on the Nigerian economy.
He recalled that "On the 22nd of November, 2022, President Buhari made yet another milestone in his commitment to promoting Industrialisation,and balanced economic growth to our citizens by commissioning the OPL 809 and 810 at Kolmani in Gombe, Gombe state for the drilling of crude oil.
"But on one fateful morning, precisely, Saturday, the 2nd of February 2019, President Buhari landed at Kolmani River 11 well on the Upper Benue trough of the Gongola Basin and flagged- off the spud I of the wells. Barely 8 months later, being the 10th of October, 2019 at about 18.02 hrs, one of reservoirs at Kolmani well 11 was perforated and at 21.20 hrs hydrocarbon gushed out!! This is a hallmark of a goal- getter and achiever!!! This is a legacy that will live beyond this generation and forever. We cannot deny President Muhammadu this legacy.
Meanwhile, he appealed to President Buhari to ensure that explorations in these new locations begin before he exits office in 2023.
