The Taraba State Governor, Darius Dickson Ishaku, has called on the Federal Government to speed up oil exploration in the northeast region of the country in order to help enhance and diversify the country’s economy.
He urged the federal government to expand and expedite exploration in the Chad basin, as well as the Benue trough, which, according to geological reports, is rich in oil and gas.
He says they anticipate that early exploitation of petroleum resources in the North-East region will increase our revenue profile.
Governor Ishaku also recommended that the Forum push for the removal of the exploration and exploitation of mineral resources from the exclusive list to the concurrent list.
