OKECHUKWU NNODIM writes on the Federal Government’s plan to reduce oil theft, among other developments
Kyari had said, “I’m happy to say that the interventions that we have seen in terms of the security measures we have taken, in collaboration with the government security agencies, with the private surveillance and security contractors, and the investments that we have done, we believe that in the next couple of days we will be able to bring back the Trans Niger Pipeline.”Kyari added, “And we will also restore production into the Forcados Terminal.
“So ultimately, our aim is to get back the production and it is not out of control. We are getting back and you will see what will happen. Our security agencies are doing a great job on it.” However, experts gave diverse views with respect to the contract. Some kicked against it, while others described it as a good development.
“That you have an individual having the know-how to stop the theft of a commodity that a whole navy could not stop leaves much to be desired. We only hope this will not further promote criminality in the Niger Delta,” he stated.
