Following the inferno on the campus of Caritas University, Enugu last month, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) will partner with stakeholders in the industry to purchase advanced seismic data to explore the type and quantity of hydrocarbon in Enugu State.
The Chief Executive Officer of the Commission, Gbenga Komolafe, represented by the NUPRC Owerri Zonal Coordinator, Mr. Enorense Amadasu, at a media parley organised by the institution, noted that investigation had shown that there was no evidence of any oil and gas production or pipeline in or around the site of the incident.
The university, state and the Southeast region are looking forward to joining the league of oil producing states, should the Federal Government strike the black gold or gas in commercial quantity.
