» "North Will Never Discover Oil In Chad Basin" – Senator Shehu Sani «

KADUNA – The north will never discover oil in the Chad
basin of Nigeria even after it has wasted $3 billion,
approximately (N900 billion) in oil exploration in the basin,
said Senator Shehu Sani, Chairman, Senate Committee on
foreign and domestic debts.
Sani, made the above affirmation Monday when members
of Kaduna State Students Union paid him a courtesy call in
his Kaduna office.
This in variance with the position of the Chairman, of the
Northern Nigeria Development Company, (NNDC) Alhaji
Bashir Dalhatu, who had said last year NNDC would
commence the exploration of oil and gas in the said basin
and the upper Benue trough.
Said Sani: “Oil exploration in the north has been carried out
back to days far beyond that of former President Jonathan
Goodluck.
I am calling on President Mohamadu Buhari to order a
probe into this questionable search for oil. Past leaders
have amassed wealth through this venture, and I want the
president to investigate this.
“If we cannot fine oil, we must get our money back because
so far over $3 billion US Dollars had been wasted on oil
exploration in the north, particularly in the Chad Basin and
Benue trough.
