Lagos State has officially joined the league of Oil Producing States in
Nigeria following the discovery of oil by Tunde Folawiyo Petroleum
Company Limited in Badagry, Lagos. Akinwumi Ambode the governor of Lagos
State made this known yesterday while receiving sample of the Crude
Oil.
Mr. Tunde Folawiyo paid a courtesy visit to the governor
where he presented the samples of the crude oil. Governor Ambode praised
Tunde Folawiyo for his company’s effort in discovering oil in Lagos
after 25 years of hard work, saying that by the provision
of Section 162
Sub-Section 2 of the Nigeria Constitution, Lagos has become an oil
producing State.
He declared, “I want to thank you very much for
this and I say it with all conviction because I know that based on
section 162 Sub-Section 2 of the Nigeria Constitution, Lagos becomes an
oil producing state and by virtue of this, the 13 percent derivation
that is due to oil producing states, Lagos will start to partake from it
by your very good gesture”
Lagos is the first state outside the
Niger Delta to become an oil producing State, but has also opened up a
new page for revenue generation in the State...

Do
we export crude oil in finished product? That should be the concern. In
the end we'll export it and bring it back after refining at a higher
price. Stupid country
