The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr. Timipre Sylva, made this known when he briefed State House correspondents on the outcome of the council meeting, chaired by President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday, February 8, 2023 in Abuja.

The minister stated that the Museum started in the early 80s by the late President Shehu Shagari but could not be continued due to paucity of funds.
He, however, said that the Buhari administration had injected life into the project because of its importance.
