The Federal Government has revealed that it has spent a staggering $1.5 billion since 2020 to protect the nation’s oil installations and curb crude oil theft, amidst alarming reports of losses in the oil and gas sector.

 

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, disclosed this at a public hearing of the House of Representatives on crude oil theft. Akume, represented by the Permanent Secretary, General Services, Maurice Nandi, stated that 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.
