House of Reps and Nigerian Navy Join Forces to Combat Oil Theft

The House of Representatives Special Committee on Crude Oil Theft and Losses has sought the assistance of the Nigerian Navy in its efforts to unmask the perpetrators of crude oil theft in the country.

The committee’s chairman, Hon. Alhassan Ado Doguwa, made the appeal over the weekend, emphasizing the need for collaboration between the two entities.

The persistent issue of oil theft has long plagued Nigeria, causing significant economic losses and threatening the nation’s energy security.

The House of Representatives Special Committee on Crude Oil Theft and Losses was established to address this issue and identify the parties responsible for these criminal activities.

By joining forces with the Nigerian Navy, the committee hopes to leverage the expertise and resources of the military to gather critical information and intelligence on the oil thieves.

This collaboration is expected to strengthen the investigation and ultimately bring the culprits to justice.

In a statement, Doguwa said, “Crude oil theft is a major concern to the economy of our country, Nigeria, and on that note, we feel we have to extend hands of fellowship to the relevant security stakeholders that have long been existing on the space to fight against these criminalities.”

The Nigerian Navy, as a key player in the nation’s security architecture, has a crucial role to play in safeguarding Nigeria’s maritime domain and protecting its natural resources.

The support of the Navy is expected to bolster the House of Representatives’ efforts to tackle the oil theft crisis.

The collaboration between the House of Representatives and the Nigerian Navy is a significant step towards addressing the issue of oil theft in Nigeria.

By working together, these two entities can pool their resources and expertise to combat this challenge and protect the nation’s economic interests.
