 The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria has planned a nationwide protest over crude oil theft. Addressing journalists in Abuja, the Pangasin president, Festos Osifo, charged the government to hold those whose responsibility is to protect oil pipelines to account. The association also threatened to withdraw their services should the government fail to take decisive action against oil thieves, as the current situation already affects its members in oil-producing companies that have been shut down due to theft. The OPEC quarter today for Nigeria is somewhere above 1.8 million barrels of crude oil per day. But today we struggle to produce just over a million because the majority of these crude oil are stolen and at best companies are shutting production. As Pangasin, we felt that no, we can no longer hold our hands. We felt that the discussions that we are be having in offices, enough is enough. And we should also again follow it up by a rally that is going to take place across the four zones plus Abuja of Pangasin called tomorrow 8th of September 2022. Government must wake up. There must be consequence management. You cannot send naval officers. You cannot send civil defense officers. You cannot send men and women of Nigeria Army to the creeks of Nigeria Delta as you don't develop a mechanism to hold them accountable. Because if there is no accountability, if there is no consequence management, if at best you keep circling them six months thereafter, you keep circling them every six months. What you are doing is creating circles of millions every six months. So you get notified about fresh news updates.
