A DIRECTOR at the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Ltd, Mr Yusuf Usman, said the company has drilled four oil wells in the Kolmani area of Bauchi State.
He also restated commitment of the company to the exploration and development of oil and gas resources in the northern region of the country.
Usman said this on Wednesday in Kaduna at the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation’s two-day interactive Session on Government-Citizens Engagement.
Usman stated, “So far, the NNPCL has drilled four wells in the Kolmani area of Bauchi State, and is currently evaluating the appropriate technology to be deployed for the next phase of drilling operations.
“In support of President Tinubu’s Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative, five CNG and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants are under construction in Kogi.
“These plants are expected to enhance gas supply and accessibility across the northern region.”
Usman highlighted some of the achievements of the company under the Tinubu-led administration that benefited the north and other parts of the country.
