Nigerian businessmen have been awarded seven oil blocs for exploration from the 46 newly discovered oil blocs in Kenya, Dr Kiprono Kittony, the Chairman of the Nigeria-Kenya Chamber of Commerce said.
The chairman made the disclosure in Abuja on Monday at a meeting with prominent business men from both countries.
The New Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the meeting was part of activities lined up for the state visit of President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya to Nigeria.
NAN reports that the closing session of the business meeting was presided over by Presidents Goodluck Jonathan and Kenyatta.
Kittony said the Joint Nigeria-Kenya Chamber of Commerce, inaugurated during a state visit of President Jonathan to Kenya in September last year, had yielded fruits.
It would be recalled that during the President’s visit to Nairobi, Kenyan authorities had offered the 46 newly discovered oil blocs to interested Nigerian investors in the oil and gas industry to develop.
