President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday promised to look into the request for the restoration of Oil Mining Leases (OML 46) to Bayelsa State.
The president, according to a statement issued by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, made the promise when the Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, visited him at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He also promised to look into two other requests presented by the governor.
Diri, who was accompanied on the trip to the State House by his predecessor, Seriake Dickson, King Alfred Diete-Spiff and the Chairman of the State’s Council of Traditional Rulers, King Bubaraye Dakolo, urged the Federal Government to take over the Bayelsa Medical University and speedy completion of three federal roads in each of the Senatorial Districts in the state.
He appealed to the president to consider the restoration of the oil bloc which was revoked and awarded to a private company.
