In a statement from the Group General Manager. Group Public Affairs Division, Ohi Alegbe, Kachikwu stated that the Corporation is injecting a lot of energy into the effort to ensure success in this regard.
He said: “There are signs from the latest 3D seismic studies that oil may well be very close to being found now in Lake Chad after very many years of trials. I think that this is very key. It is key both for the geographical balancing of oil production and it is also very key for the purpose of refinery placement in the North in terms of access to crude. I am optimistic that by the end of the year we should be able to announce something major on this’’.
