The Kolmani Integrated Development Project in the North-East, the first of its type in the region, was officially launched on Tuesday by President Muhammadu Buhari.
According to Buhari, the Kolmani River, which is located between the states of Gombe and Bauchi, has already attracted over $3 million in foreign direct investment and will improve Nigeria’s fortunes and income.
The project is anticipated to begin with a daily crude oil production of around 50,000 barrels. You can read more of such stories at Credible News.

Crude oil was discovered in the Kolmani River region at the border village between Bauchi and Gombe states in 2019, according to the NNPC.
The Frontier Exploration Fund (FEF) was subsequently created under Section 9 of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), which the President signed, with the allocation of 30% of the profit from NNPC’s upstream oil and gas contracts for oil exploration in Kolmani as well as Anambra, Dahomey, Bida, Chad, and the Benue Trough.
