North-East Governors Urge Oil Exploration Revival in Borno
The North-East Governors’ Forum (NEGF) convened for its 13th regular meeting at the Borno Government House in Maiduguri from October 2 to October 3, where they called on the federal government to revive stalled oil exploration activities in Borno State. The Forum's Vice Chairman, Hon. Umaru Fintiri, who is also the Governor of Adamawa State, emphasized the need to resume exploration in the Magumeri and Gubio Local Government Areas.
The governors expressed gratitude to President Bola Tinubu for the ongoing revival of the Kolmani oil drilling project in Gombe State and acknowledged federal attention on key infrastructure projects, including the Port Harcourt–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Maiduguri rail corridor. The meeting also highlighted regional unity as a significant achievement since its inaugural meeting in March 2020.
The Forum discussed energy initiatives, including the Dadinkowa hydropower plant and the establishment of more CNG and LNG stations to boost economic activities in the region.
