 The withdrawal of the Attala Marginal Oil Field License from the Biasol State Oil Company by the Food Government has continued to generate controversy with the Ejo Youth Council IYC supporting the state government position that the license be re-awarded to the state. Former Governor of Biasol State and current Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timmy Press Silver, had recently given reasons for the withdrawal of the license saying that the Food Government was losing funds because the Marginal Oil Field was not being utilized by the Biasol State Government, reacted by calling on the Food Government to re-award the Attala Marginal Oil Field mining lease to the state. Speaking to our correspondent, Jesse Eisei, on the recent development, the National Spokesman of the Ejo Youth Council IYC, Comrade Epilade Ekerefe, described the Attala Marginal Oil Field as Biasol's most prized asset, saying that the new administration should be given a trial. The government should be able to tell the GPR that the government has the capacity to manage the Marginal Oil Field. And if the government has also made that serious commitment to getting back the oil field, what I expect the GPR of other critical stakeholders that is responsible to issuing out the license to secure further commitment from the government, but to completely revoke the oil license and give it to a company that is not even known by some of us who are critical stakeholders and leaders from this place is something that we are not too comfortable with. The IYC spokesman also commented and commented also on the controversy surrounding the Petroleum Industry Bill kicking against the 3% for host communities while frontier basins get 30%. Also, Ejo Nationalist and Chairman Supreme Egbeshu Assembly were in a prayer. Noelle de Giffa stressed the need for resource control as he maintained that a bill has no bearing on the livelihood of the people. Do the NNPC need the sales of oil production from the Niger Delta region to fund the frontier basins? And if the Niger Delta is volatile and oil production is being brought to the parents' minimum, how will they not get the money to fund the frontier basins? So that is the fundamental question we are asking. Now, policies came into the passage of the bill and our people now say, okay, now give me 35%. Just to show that commitment, they went back and kept it at 3%. As the joint council and every stakeholder in this region is kicking against that bill that was passed, it has no effect on the lifestyle of our people. We are the highest losers. Our environment is polluted. The receivers, out of how many oil block, which one was given to an Ejo man as an ethnic group? Ejo, as they said, is the fourth largest tribe. Biasa is just a small place. So if the Biasa have a imaginary oil field, and you are denied out of the management issue, what do you think?
