The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, Tuesday, promised to tackle the issue of crude‎ oil theft with the deployment of drones across the nation’s territorial waters to monitor the inwards and outwards movement of oil vessels.

In a statement by the NNPC in Abuja, Group Managing Director of the Corporation, Mr. Ibe Kachikwu‎, also lamented the ‎rising incidence of crude oil theft and its negative impact on the country’s refineries, and stated that the NNPC is working on a range of far reaching options designed to end the issue of crude and petroleum products theft within the next eight months.

‎Kachikwu, who stated this at the special conference on Security in the Gulf of Guinea organized by the Gusau Institute, warned that if left unchecked, the menace could invariably make it impossible for the NNPC to operate the refineries.

‎He said, “We are launching an armada of approaches which will include incorporation of drones to check movements of vessels within our territorial waters; We are looking at the current logistical nightmares of changing staffing at the loading bay of crude oil export terminals virtually every 90 days.

“We are trying to equip the navy sufficiently though they are very well equipped in terms of skill set but not in terms of arsenal for patrols within the maritime area.”

It's under Buhari Nigeria advances technologically, God saved us if not we would have returned to stone age under one Otuoke ogogoro drinking President. Soon the Military would use combat drones to flush out boko-are-rams.

*phone rings*

Me: Hello!!
Caller(In Madam Peeshy's voice): You lied! Jonathan bought drones for the Military!
Me: I'm sorry Ma, calm down.. .. . When I mean drone, I mean this

Why una like to dey look for trouble like this, is it ur brain or is it ur space

This Buhari keeps clearing our doubts...

Looking bleak

No more space for the thieves to steal.

Drones ke,,What about

The cabals
The Vandals
The legal oil thieves
The "I own an Oil Bloc"
MEND


They are going to deploy anti-drones....

Deploy drones through the Niger delta mangrove canopy Maybe, the NNPC spokesperson does not understand the crude oil pipeline layout.

Ok

The idea is laudable

But the question is

How sustainable is it?

PublicAssurance:
waste of money....before you know it now....we will start to hear about the $20 billion Drone contract scam....Awon educated robbers..always robbing us with their pen and xtra Zeros

Compare that money to the amount we lose on Oil Theft.... Its not a waste

I de book space, e come de itch u be bad belle? Abi Dem fry ur own brand of Weed? Take time o!

it's funny, I just hope it will yield a positive outcome but if oil thieve decide to attack na Baba lawo go set up their signal jammer.

Talk is cheap but doing the work? Welcome to govt of promises and nothing to show for it! This is simply a guise to settle a few thieves and no one will hear of drones by year end.
