On Friday, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, announced the discovery of crude oil in about 3350 square metres in the Lake Chad Basin.
Sequel to this outstanding discovery, reports busted that Vice President Namadi Sambo is leading the commencement of steps towards engaging “willing and ready investors that will facilitate speedy and timely exploration in the second phase of the exercise.”
It was gathered that the Lake Chad Basin, located in the far North Eastern Borno State of Nigeria, is the hotbed of terror attacks and other forms of violence by the Islamic sect, Boko Haram.
Group Managing Director of NNPC, Mr. Andy Yakubu, said “despite the insinuations making the rounds that the corporation is not doing much on the exploration of the hydro carbon on the Lake Chad, NNPC was doing a lot to realise the noble objective of the Federal Government.”
