Gbajabiamila Cries Out As Nigeria Loses 400,000 Barrels Per Day To Crude Oil Theives
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has pleaded with all stakeholders to report any case pipeline vandalism as he reveals that Nigeria loses about 400,000 barrels of crude oil daily
Speaking at the public hearing on crude oil theft, Gbajabiamila said the education and health care systems would benefit greatly from the money the stolen crude oil would have amounted to.
The speaker noted that investigations have been previously carried out yet there has been no end to the theft of crude oil resulting in negative financial implications for the country. He was however optimistic that the current investigation would result in much-needed change.
Chairman of the Adhoc Committee and Deputy Leader of the House, Peter Akpatason also said the house delayed the investigation as a result of the reluctance of some stakeholder to make available relevant information to aid the work of the committee.
