Stakeholders are excited by the 1.8 million barrels per day (mbpd) crude oil and the 7.4 billion standard cubic feet per day (7.4bscfd) of gas production announced on Thursday by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
This is as Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited (TSSNL), a private security outfit engaged by the Federal Government to protect oil pipelines and other facilities restated its commitment to ensuring the production of the over 2mbpd.
Stakeholders hailed NNPCL for the feat which they noted was aided by the private security agencies hired to safeguard the nation’s economic assets.
Tantita has lately led a relentless war against crude oil theft and pipeline vandalism, pursuing oil thieves out of the nation’s coastal environment as well as seizing and confiscating their equipment.
It was gathered that most of the oil thieves abandoned the nefarious business in the wake of the onslaught and ceaseless heat by the operatives of Tantita security services positioned in the coastal axis of the Niger Delta.
