JUST IN: Enugu State set to join oil-producing states

Enugu is set to join other states to enjoy oil producing status.

This is the outcome of an impactful meeting of Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission,(RMAFC), in Abuja, the Nigeria’s capital.

Quoting an inside source, Freedom Square Tv said the netting ratified the request of Enugu to join other states in getting the revenue accrued to oil producing states.

The governor drew the attention of RMAFC to the fact that “Enugu is about the only state in Nigeria which produces crude oil in commercial quantities without being formally accorded the status of an oil-bearing state”.
