 Still in the same Vienna as part of efforts to tackle the menace of crude oil theft, illegal oil bonkering and pipeline vandalism in Nigeria, the federal government has commissioned eight gunboats to be used by the Nigeria's Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC. The Minister of Interior Raouf Araba Shala, who commissioned the gunboats in Port Harcourt River State, said it would assist the NSCDC in going full scale in the war against oil theft. It is time to deal a heavy blow on economics about hers, especially in river state. With these gunboats, the federal government believes the war against oil theft will be over. The Minister of Interior Raouf Araba Shala urged security agencies to shun inter-agency rivalry and synergize for better results. The commander-general of the NSCDC, Hamad Abubaka Aoudi, affirms that the new gunboats will boost the morale of the Civil Defence Corps, incurring out their duties. We have keyed in into the new strategy that the government have developed to curb these oil thefts and illegal oil bonkering. And that is a manifestation of what we have seen today, that actually indicates or signifies that directive from government. And I like to assure Nigerians that the Civil Defence Corps is ready to fight oil thefts. For the general manager of Epanel Group, Numo Lili Iran, the production of the gunboat in Nigeria will help improve the GDP and create employment opportunities. He heads that the gunboats are equipped with a state-of-the-art navigational and communication equipment, and powered by twin 200 HV-outward engines. The purchase of these armored gunboats will enable officers and men of Nicole to protect critical infrastructures with ease. This shows that Nigerians can produce good things if given the opportunity. The commander-general enjoins Nigerians to assist security agencies in winning the war against insecurity by sharing credible information that can lead to the arrest and prosecution of oil, pipeline, vandals, and economic survivors.
