Oil workers have urged President Bola Tinubu to relocate military chiefs to the Niger Delta to halt crude oil theft and generate more revenue for the country.
The workers, under the aegis of Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN), urged the Tinubu administration to pay more attention to the region as an increase to crude oil production was critical to stabilising the economy.
President of PENGASSAN, Comrade Festus Osifo, who spoke on behalf of the oil workers at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the union today in Abuja, noted that the country’s crude oil production could increase by 30 per cent if oil theft was tackled.
Condemning the killing of military personnel at Okuama community in Delta state, Osifo urged the military to approach the situation with caution to avoid a repeat of what happened in Zaki Biam and Odi, while ensuring perpetrators of the act were caught and justice served
