The Sir Ahmadu Bello Memorial Foundation (SABMF) has called for caution against adverse effects of oil and gas production such as oil spillage, gas flaring, water and environmental contamination at the newly launched Kolmani oil well between Gombe and Bauchi states.
The Director General of the foundation, Engineer Abubakar Gambo, in a statement, said, “It equally needs to be stressed that the adverse effects of oil and gas production such as oil spillage, gas flaring, water and environmental contamination are serious matters that should be taken into consideration to avoid destruction of the region’s biodiversity as seen in the Niger Delta and several places in the world where exploration takes place.”
