“The highest barrels of crude production was recorded in the year 2005 with 918.66 million barrels valued at N6.14 billion.
“The lowest was, however, recorded in 1961 with 16.80 million barrels valued at N18.73 million.

NAIJ.com reported earlier that the  (NNPC) has announced that it has started the process that will eventually lead to the exploration of oil in Sokoto.
This was revealed by Maikanti Kachalla Baro who is the group managing director of the NNPC when he received the governor of Sokoto, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, who paid a working visit to the NNPC Towers in Abuja.
