Anambra State chapter of the Host Communities of Nigeria Producing Oil & Gas (HOSTCOM) has urged the Federal Government to classify the state as an oil producing state to attract more development and revenue.

Its Chairman, Chief Victor Emeka, made the call in Awka at the inauguration of the state executive by the National Chairman of HOSTCOM, Chief Benjamin Style Tamaranebi, pledging to that industrial harmony prevailed in the host communities.

He said that Anambra state produces 10,000 barrels of crude oil per day and is thus qualified to be classified as an oil producing state and benefit from the 13 per cent derivation.

The National chair of HOSTCOM, Tamaranebi said former President Goodluck Jonathan during his visit to the state in 2012 declared that Anambra had a proven production of 10,000 b/d from AN 1,4 & 5 in OPL 915 operated by Sterling Global and OPL 916 operated by Orient Petroleum at ALO 1 location.

Tamaranebi, expressed concern over the delay in confirming Anambra an oil producing state despite fulfilling the criteria since 2012.
