The North-East Governors’ Forum (NEGF) has called on the federal government to revive stalled oil exploration activities in Borno State, despite the ongoing revival of the Kolmani oil drilling project in Gombe State. The NEGF's appeal, made at the conclusion of its 13th regular meeting in Maiduguri, reflects concerns over the impact of the suspension of petroleum exploration in Borno's Magumeri and Gubio Local Government Areas.
The forum's communique also praised President Bola Tinubu for renewed federal attention on key regional infrastructure projects, including the Port Harcourt–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Maiduguri rail corridor and the Akwanga–Jos–Bauchi–Gombe–Biu–Maiduguri highway.
