North-East Governors Urge Tinubu to Resume Oil Exploration
The North-East Governors’ Forum convened for its 13th regular meeting at the Borno State Government House in Maiduguri from October 2 to 3, 2026. The governors, including Vice Chairman Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State, called on the Federal Government to resume oil exploration activities in Borno State, specifically in Magumeri and Gubio Local Government Areas, where previous efforts had been halted.
They commended President Bola Tinubu for his initiatives to revive the Kolmani oil drilling project in Gombe State and highlighted the importance of major infrastructure projects, including the Port Harcourt-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe-Maiduguri rail corridor and the Akwanga-Jos-Bauchi-Gombe-Biu-Maiduguri highway. The Forum, established in March 2020, emphasized regional unity as a significant achievement, which has strengthened their collective voice for developmental projects.
They also discussed energy plans, transportation improvements, and security challenges in the region.
