Isoko communities threaten to stop oil operations over unpaid development funds

Communities in Isoko land, Delta State, have threatened to shut down oil operations in their area over the failure of oil companies to release funds meant for community development as required by the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) 2021. In a statement jointly signed by Erere Okpako and Angela Akpofa for the Isoko Grassroot Mobilizers, the stakeholders expressed deep disappointment over what they described as “decades of neglect” despite their contribution to the nation’s oil wealth.

Tinubu Hails GEIL for Pioneering New Crude Export Terminal

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has commended Green Energy International Limited (GEIL) for setting a new benchmark in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector with the successful commissioning of its crude oil export terminal in Otakikpo, Rivers State.

According to the President, the new export facility will provide an efficient evacuation route for marginal and stranded oil fields across the Niger Delta region. This, he said, will unlock billions of barrels of reserves, drive investment, and create significant economic value — key priorities of his administration. Speaking through the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Senator Heineken Lokpobiri, President Tinubu […]
