Nigeria Spent ₦2.398 Trillion To Fight Crude Oil Theft – SGF
The Federal Government has said it has spent over $1.5 billion from 2020 to date to protect the nation’s oil installations and curb crude oil theft.
The Secretary of the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume, made this known on Thursday at a public hearing of the House of Representatives on crude oil theft.
Akume was represented by the Permanent Secretary, General Services, Maurice Nandi.
“The Federal Government was concerned about the report from the Nigerian Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), which pointed to over $46 billion worth of stolen crude between 2009 and 2020.
“The House had set up a special committee, headed by the Chairman of the House Committee on Petroleum Upstream, Ado Doguwa, to investigate the losses in the oil and gas sector,” Akume said.
