THE Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has successfully drilled four oil wells in the Kolmani region of Bauchi State, according to Yusuf Usman, a director at the company.
Speaking today at the Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation’s two-day interactive session on government-citizen engagement in Kaduna, Usman reaffirmed NNPCL’s commitment to exploring and developing oil and gas resources across northern Nigeria.
“So far, NNPCL has drilled four wells in the Kolmani area and is currently assessing the most suitable technology for the next phase of drilling,” he said.
He also highlighted the company’s support for President Bola Tinubu’s Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Initiative.
As part of this effort, five CNG and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants are currently under construction in Kogi State, aimed at improving gas supply and accessibility across the northern region.
Usman further outlined several key milestones achieved by the company under the current administration, which have had positive impacts in both the northern region and the country at large.
