SENATOR STELLA ODUAH’S MOTION ON ANAMBRA AS OIL PRODUCING STATE CRYSTALIZES INTO A REALITY

The continued and sustained efforts of our indefatigable Senator Stella Oduah to officially confirm Anambra State as an Oil producing State to bring the mere pronouncement of former President Good Ebele Jonathan into reality through her motion has finally crystallized into a reality.

According to National Chairman to Host Communities Producing Oil and Gas, Prince Mike Emuh, Federal Govt has finally recognized Anambra State as an Oil Producing State.

Recall that our indefatigable Senator Stella Oduah, proposed a motion on:

Need to give recognition to Anambra, Enugu and Kogi as oil producing states and to forestall further hostilities between the warring communities of Odeke Echeno in Ibaji Local Government Area of Kogi State and Enugu- Out Aguleri and Eziagulu - Otu Communities in Anambra East Local Government Area of Anambra State

She did not just stop with the motion, she continued to push from the executive angle through constant dialogue and negotiation to ensure that the state is officially accorded this recognition for the interest of the economy of the State and host communities around the epicenter of the oil discovery.

This official recognition will bring in a lot of benefits to the state:

i.                    The State will be included in the list of NDDC Programs Beneficiary States. This is huge and immense because Billions of Naira are allocated to NDDC yearly for the development of host communities.

ii.                  This will end the hostilities and youths restiveness that has remained a reoccurring decimal in these communities.

iii.                The IGR of the state will certainly burgeon as more and more investors will continue fresh searches for oil in Anambra State and the more they discover, the more revenue for the State and FG.

iv.                This will help to promote peace among the communities that occupy the epicenter of this discovery.

v.                  This will also grow the economy of the state as more jobs will be created for the youths through more investment into that sector.

This can only be our indefatigable Senator Stella Oduah.
