On Monday, President Muhammadu Buhari was said to have met with
three state governors from the northern part of the country. The meeting was to
discuss what is becoming a desperate, continued search for oil in the north.
Sokoto governor, Aminu Tambuwal, one of the visitors to the
president, was quoted to have called on the federal government to support the
search for oil in the Sokoto basin, as that area had been discovered to have
oil reserve as far back as 1957.
