  "summary": "The North-East Governors’ Forum (NEGF) has called on the Federal Government to revive stalled oil exploration activities in Borno State, specifically in Magumeri and Gubio Local Government Areas. This demand was made during the Forum’s 13th regular meeting, which concluded in Maiduguri on Saturday. NEGF Vice Chairman and Adamawa State Governor, Umaru Fintiri, urged the Federal Government to reconsider petroleum exploration activities that had previously started in Magumeri and Gubio but were later halted. The two-day meeting, held from October 2 to 3, 2026, gathered governors and senior officials from the states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Taraba, and Yobe to discuss security, economic integration, and infrastructure development in the region.",
