The governor made the announcement during the state Executive Council Meeting where top officials of the state were present.

His words, “I, Alhaji Yahaya Adoza Bello, the executive governor of Kogi State, seize this opportunity to make this wonderful announcement to all of us and to all of us across the world that history is being made today under my leadership. That Kogi State, one of the northern states, is now recognised and confirmed as an oil producing state.”

The governor added that “We have received the first tranche and the first payment of 13% derivation. So officially Kogi State is now an oil producing state”.

He joined the National Economic Council under the leadership of  Vice President Yemi Osinbajo via video conferencing where he broke the news to the vice president and members of the Economic Council.
