Sokoto State Governor, Alhaji Aliyu Wamakko, said on Thursday that the state would soon make a presentation to the Federal Government on how to exploit the crude oil deposits discovered in commercial quantity in the state.

The governor spoke to State House Correspondents after the National Economic Council meeting presided over by Vice-President Namadi Sambo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Wamakko, who confirmed that oil was discovered in commercial quantity in Sokoto, said the state was happy with the development.

The News Agency of Nigeria quoted him as saying details of the discovery would be made public as soon as the presentation was made to the Federal Government and made available for exploration work.

The governor said, “After having made the discovery, we are going to make formal presentation to the Federal Government to commence the process or allow us to continue.

“Once we make the formal presentation to the Federal Government and there is fund, then we will talk to you in details on what is and how it is.” he said.
