In news reports, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) has successfully deactivated 6,409 illegal refineries in the Niger Delta region to combat oil theft. The managing director of NNPC Limited, Mele Kyari, revealed this on Monday during an interactive session with the chairman of EFCC, Ola Olukoyede, during the latter’s visit to the NNPC Towers in Abuja. Kyari expressed concern over the magnitude of daily oil theft and the audacity of the perpetrators, labeling crude oil theft as the most formidable and pervasive economic crime in Nigeria. He appealed to the EFCC for assistance in tackling this menace, highlighting the crucial role the commission plays in maintaining deterrence against such criminal activities and economic crimes. This was disclosed in a statement by the NNPCL Chief Corporate Communications Officer, Olufemi Soneye, on the official NNPC X handle (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.
