Bauchi State Govt pledges support on actualisation of Kolmani oil exploration.

Bauchi State Deputy Governor, Mohammed Auwal Jatau has assured the state government readiness in providing the necessary support for the full actualisation of Kolmani Oil Exploration.

Speaking to journalists when he led members of the Crude Oil Committee of the Revenue Mobilisation and Fiscal Allocation Commission (RMFAC) to inspect the level of progress at the Kolmani Oil Field, Auwal Jatau promised that the state government will support the construction firms to work effectively.

The Deputy Governor also assured to work in close collaboration with both the Federal Government through the NNPCL and all stakeholders involved to see the full actualization of Kolmani Integrated Oil for the economic development of the state, neighbouring states and the country in general.

On his part, the acting chairman RMFAC crude oil committee, Engineer Hassan Mahmoud said the visit became necessary because of the potential of discovered crude oil deposits at the field to contribute significantly to the revenue pulse of the nation and bemoaned the delay in the actualisation of full-scale lifting of crude oil from the Kolmani Integrated Oil Filed years after its inauguration.

The representative of the construction firm, Sterling Global, Abdulhamid Aminu said efforts are on by the company to drill two additional wells that would feed the already drilled PL809 and OPL810 before the lifting of crude oil from the site would commence
