President Goodluck Jonathan, yesterday, expressed dismay at the
continuous stealing of Nigeria’s crude oil by illegal bunkerers, vowing
that his administration would do everything possible to stem the tide by
bringing the perpetrators to book. The President stated this at the opening of the Maritime Sector
Presidential Retreat with the theme, “Harnessing the Potential of
Nigeria’s Maritime Sector for Sustainable Economic Development” at the
Presidential Villa.
According to Jonathan, “it is embarrassing that it is only in Nigeria
that crude oil is stolen. It is a very bad news and I believe that
Nigerians and foreigners who are involved in that act need to throw
their heads under the pillow because all over the world, it is only in
Nigeria that crude oil is stolen.
He said: “This must stop. We will be decisive in putting an end to
this malaise. Our charge to all relevant agencies and departments of
government is to work cooperatively with the required urgency.”……Ok sir we haff heard!
