The Imo state government yesterday named the areas it recovered 43 oil wells from Rivers State, saying that 22 oil wells were recovered from Mgbede Field in Egbema, Ohaji/Egbema Local Government Area and 21 oil wells from the Akri Field in Oguta Local Government Area in Imo

“We were before now a fringe member of the Niger Delta Development Commission. Imo State is now an assertive 4th in the rung; an authoritative member of the NDDC and every other month from now to perpetuity, much more revenue comes into Imo coffers.”(Courtesy, Vanguard)
