Asharami, Stardeep, Attabanson, Gupsco and Others Secure Exploration Acreage as Frontier Basins Draw Record Investor Interest

𝐀𝐛𝐮𝐣𝐚 — Nigeria awarded 37 oil and gas blocks to 31 companies following a competitive commercial bid process under the 2025 Licensing Round, marking the country's strongest investor response yet for frontier exploration acreage.

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) said 143 companies submitted 200 bids for 37 of the 50 blocks offered during the licensing exercise. The remaining 13 blocks received no bids.

The acreage offered spans Nigeria's major hydrocarbon provinces, comprising 16 Niger Delta onshore blocks, 18 shallow-water blocks, one deepwater block, three Benin Basin onshore blocks, four Anambra Basin onshore blocks, four Chad Basin onshore blocks and four blocks in the Benue Trough.

Of the 50 blocks offered, bids were received across all geological terrains, including the frontier basins of the Benue Trough, Chad Basin, Anambra Basin and Benin Basin. According to the Commission, this is the first time Nigeria's frontier basins have attracted such a broad level of investor participation in a licensing round.

The successful bidders include SSonic Petroleum Limited (PPL 2A29), CFP Pipeline and Flowlines (PPL 2A30), Dutchford E&P Limited (PPL 2A32), Attabanson Global Company Limited (PPL 2A33 and PPL 901), Rosem Energy Limited (PPL 2A38), Pivot-GIS Limited (PPL 2A39), Network E&P (PPL 2A40), Asharami (PPL 2A41), LexOil (PPL 2A42), BVOF (PPL 2A43), Gupsco Energy Limited (PPL 2A44 and PPL 2A51), Saratoga (PPL 2A45), Volante (PPL 2A46), Concept-Reel Petroleum Services Limited (PPL 2A47 and PPL 2A55), Clinton Oil Field (PPL 2A48 and PPL 2A62), and Nuway Oaklane Limited (PPL 2A49).

Other successful companies are Ramec (PPL 2A50), Italia (PPL 2A53), Blueridge E&P (PPL 2A54), Up Energies Limited (PPL 2A56), AYM Shafa (PPL 2A57), Blackrock Holdings Limited (PPL 2A58), Funtay Integrated Business Limited (PPL 2A59), Riparian Development and Production Limited (PPL 2A60), Nikstallis (PPL 2A61 and PPL 900), Stardeep Petroleum (PPL 2010), Dakoda & U Limited (PPL 308 and PPL 800), Southborne Oil and Gas Limited (PPL 902), Lanaka Petroleum (PPL 903), Highban Resources Limited (PPL 700), and Eyre Energy Limited (PPL 801).

The awards remain conditional upon payment of the prescribed signature bonuses and approval by the Minister of Petroleum Resources, in accordance with the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), 2021.

Speaking after the commercial bid conference in Abuja, NUPRC Commission Chief Executive Mrs. Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for supporting the Commission in delivering what she described as a transparent and seamless licensing process.

Eyesan urged the successful bidders to promptly pay their signature bonuses and commence exploration and development activities without delay, warning that undeveloped assets could be withdrawn under the Commission's "drill or drop" policy.

Representatives of the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Federal Ministry of Finance, the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), and other stakeholders monitored the commercial bid conference to ensure transparency and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

Some children grow up with the warmth of two loving parents. Others grow up with one. Some grow up with none at all.

From a very young age, life hands them different burdens. While one child is sheltered from the storms of life, another is forced to become strong before they even understand what strength means. One has shoulders to lean on; another learns to carry the weight of the world alone.

It is easy to assume that those with every advantage are destined to succeed, while those without parents are doomed to struggle. But life has never been that simple.

History, and our own communities, are filled with people who lost their parents early yet rose to become pillars of society. At the same time, we have seen those who enjoyed every privilege, every comfort, & every opportunity, only to waste their potential.

Your beginning is not your verdict.

The absence of parents may shape your journey, but it does not have the final say over your destiny. Likewise, having loving parents is a priceless blessing, but it is not an automatic guarantee of success.

Character, resilience, discipline, faith, purpose, and the choices we make every day often matter far more than the circumstances we were born into. So, if you grew up without parents, don’t let your past convince you that your future is already written. And if you were blessed to grow up with both parents, don’t take that privilege for granted; honour it by becoming someone they can be proud of.

Never mock someone’s difficult beginning. The child walking alone today may become the light that guides thousands tomorrow.

Your story starts with your circumstances, but it is your decisions that write the ending.

Dear Kaduna State Medical Professionals,

I am honored to use my platform to endorse Dr. Aisha Mustapha @DrAishaMustaph1, whom I have known and admired for many years. Over time, I have observed her develop into an outstanding consultant, mentor, and advocate for improved healthcare. Her commitment to training young medical professionals, educating communities on critical health issues, championing women’s health, and representing the medical profession with distinction reflects her character and dedication to service.

My confidence in Dr. Aisha is based not only on her reputation, but also on personal experience. About a year ago, someone very close to me, who has moved to Edo State, her state of origin, was diagnosed with breast cancer. The first person who came to mind was Dr. Aisha Mustapha. When I called her, she was in the operating theatre. Despite her demanding schedule, she returned my call as soon as she was available. After I explained the situation, she immediately requested to speak with the patient’s sister so that she could provide appropriate guidance. She followed up personally, offered professional advice, and strongly discouraged any delay in treatment through traditional remedies, emphasizing the importance of immediate hospital care.

She went even further by connecting the family to a cancer treatment center in the South-South, where, through her professional network, the patient could have been registered and treated free of charge. Unfortunately, that opportunity was not taken immediately. Several months were lost while other options were pursued, and by the time medical care was eventually sought, the cancer had advanced significantly. Despite Dr. Aisha’s continued concern and willingness to assist, the disease had progressed too far, and we ultimately lost the patient.

That experience demonstrated to me the true nature of Dr. Aisha Mustapha as a physician and leader—compassionate, accessible, proactive, & deeply committed to saving lives. She does not merely offer advice; she follows through, creates opportunities, and genuinely cares for the people she serves. These are the qualities we require in leadership.

I firmly believe that Dr. Aisha Mustapha is the right person for this role. I respectfully urge every Kaduna State medical professional to support and vote for her. Together, let us choose a leader whose service, compassion, and dedication have already made a meaningful difference in the lives of many.

Vote Dr. Aisha Mustapha.

"Recite What Is Easy": A Timeless Lesson from Surah Al-Muzzammil (73:20).

One of the most profound demonstrations of Allah's perfect knowledge of His creation is found in the closing verse of Surah Al-Muzzammil.

Allah says:

"...He knows that there will be among you those who are ill, others traveling throughout the land seeking Allah's bounty, and others fighting in the cause of Allah. So recite what is easy from the Qur'an..." (Surah Al-Muzzammil 73:20).

Reflect on the remarkable depth of this verse.

Allah, the Creator of mankind, knows every circumstance we will face. He knows that life is not always the same. There are seasons of strength and seasons of weakness. There are days when our bodies are healthy, and days when illness confines us. There are times when we are busy earning a lawful livelihood, running businesses, working demanding jobs, conducting research, attending school, raising families, or traveling in search of sustenance. There are even those who dedicate themselves to defending the Ummah.

Yet, despite acknowledging every legitimate excuse that may occupy our lives, Allah does not say, "Leave the Qur'an until you are free."

Instead, He lovingly commands:

"So recite what is easy from it."

What an extraordinary balance between divine command and divine mercy.

Allah does not burden us with an amount we cannot bear. He does not specify a chapter, a page, or an hour. He simply asks that we never allow our connection with His Book to be completely severed.

If you cannot recite a juz', recite a page.

If you cannot recite a page, recite a few verses.

If you cannot recite many verses, recite one verse with reflection.

The point is not the quantity—it is the continuity.

This verse teaches us that no matter how demanding life becomes, there is always room for the Qur'an. A believer's relationship with the Book of Allah should never disappear because of worldly responsibilities. The One who gave us those responsibilities is the very One who instructed us to maintain our connection with His words, even if only with "mā tayassara"—what is easy.

This is also a powerful reminder that our careers, businesses, studies, wealth, and ambitions are not excuses to neglect the Qur'an. Allah already knew these realities long before we experienced them, and He addressed them in His revelation over fourteen centuries ago.

So ask yourself:

How busy am I that I cannot spare five minutes for the speech of the One who gave me twenty-four hours?

The believer who recites even a little every day is fulfilling this divine instruction. Consistency, however small, is beloved to Allah.

May Allah make us among the people of the Qur'an, whose hearts remain attached to His Book in times of ease and hardship, in health and sickness, at home and while traveling. May He grant us the ability to recite, understand, live by, and teach His glorious Qur'an until we meet Him.

[𝐇𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐦𝐚, 𝐏𝐡.𝐃. @Realoilsheikh]

This is how it should be. I love how this lady gave the idiots back. This reminds me of my experience earlier this year. Let me gist you.

Earlier this year, around January or February, there was a lot of tension in parts of the South-South. There seemed to be a wave of suspicion and negative stereotypes directed at Hausa-Fulani, particularly following reports of insecurity in some areas. Even though, most of the kidnappers arrested were locals.

One weekend, I went into a shopping mall to buy some personal care items. I was on a phone call with a friend, using my headphones. We were discussing something serious, but we were also laughing. Because I had my headphones on, I didn't realize my voice had become louder than usual.

I was dressed in traditional Northern attire, speaking Hausa on the phone, when a woman suddenly rushed toward me and asked, "Are we safe?"

At first, I assumed she was referring to my voice being loud. I even thought perhaps I had unintentionally disturbed people around me. But after thinking about it, I asked her calmly, "Madam, what exactly did you hear that made you ask if everyone is safe? Was it something I said, or was it simply the language I was speaking?". I had to be blunt.

She replied that it wasn't her concern but that the salesgirls had become alarmed. So she picked it from there. Since the salesgirls are there, I decided to ask them directly.

Their response was very different. They explained that they hadn't raised any alarm. They simply noticed that I had entered one aisle, looked around, and then turned into another section of the store because I hadn't found what I was looking for. According to them, the woman was the one who approached them asking what was happening. And they told her exactly the same.

At that point, I became convinced that I had been unfairly singled out. The Hidima in me triggered & I downloaded it all on her. Whether it was because I was speaking Hausa, because of my traditional attire, or because of assumptions she made about me, I cannot say with certainty. But I told her my mind.

I told her that I believed she was just being STUPID, & that she just created an unnecessary panic and that such behavior contributes to division in our country. I also made it clear that if the mall or its staff had discriminated against me because of my ethnicity or language, I would not hesitate to pursue the matter through the appropriate legal channels. I pointed out that the mall had CCTV cameras and that I would ensure the facts were properly established. I told her that the idiocy she expressed can be tolerated by others, but that I m not the regular Hausa man she can joke with. A fat ugly monster she was.

The salesgirls repeatedly clarified that they had done nothing wrong and had never suggested that I posed any threat. They insisted that the misunderstanding did not come from them.

By then, the manager of the mall had arrived. After listening to what had happened, he apologized for the unpleasant experience and tried to calm the situation.

I told the Manager that I might still take the case up; and they should be ready to present that CCTV footage in the court. The ugly monster was there looking like the fool she was.

Nobody should allow anyone treat them like a shit. Stand up against anyone that want to put a finger in your eye. Grab the finger and break it. Let all hell break loose.

That experience reminded me that discrimination is not always loud or obvious. Sometimes it appears in subtle assumptions that can make an innocent person feel unwelcome in their own country. We all have a responsibility to rise above those prejudices and treat one another with fairness, dignity, and respect.

Sometimes, we get so carried away with our day-to-day activities that we lose sight of what truly matters. At times, our responsibilities become so overwhelming that we forget the very purpose of our existence.

Just imagine this:

In the middle of a demanding job, a challenging academic research project, intensive laboratory work, a hectic shift at the rig, a mountain of accounting tasks, or hours of Excel reconciliation, you suddenly remember that the most important thing in your life is the worship of Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta’ala).

At that very moment, let your lips and tongue become moist with His remembrance:

𝐒𝐮𝐛ḥ𝐚̄𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚̄𝐡𝐢 𝐰𝐚 𝐛𝐢ḥ𝐚𝐦𝐝𝐢𝐡, 𝐒𝐮𝐛ḥ𝐚̄𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐚̄𝐡𝐢𝐥-’𝐀𝐳̇𝐢̄𝐦.

A few seconds of sincere dhikr can transform an ordinary moment into an act of worship. Never become too busy to remember the One who gave you the ability, strength, and opportunity to do all that you do.
