THE NEED FOR THE INTERNATIONAL OIL COMPANIES AND THE NATIONAL OIL COMPANIES WITH OTHER STAKEHOLDERS TO COLLABORATE WITH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

The fight against crude oil theft isn't a fight meant for the federal government alone if really the stakeholders are ready to end this continuous menace of crude oil theft.

It is either we are ready as a nation to end crude oil theft or we stop deceiving ourselves forming committees both the federal government and the stakeholders aren't ready to fund. 

Crude oil theft can only be stopped in Nigeria when the federal government and the stakeholders are willing to finance organizations set to stop this continuous menace of crude oil theft in our country. 

As a federation, we must call a spade a spade to do the needful and detest the old ways filled with nepotism and pretence. 

For the past half-century the United States has trained and supplied the Saudi Arabia military, selling the wealthy kingdom more than $150 billion in dazzling high-technology weapons to protect their pipeline infrastructure and crude oil assets. 

Nigerian government should either be ready to seat tight with the various international oil companies (IOCs) and the National Oil companies (NOCs) with other stakeholders for effective financial contributions to support the fight against crude oil theft in Nigeria. 

Nigeria as a nation has been systematically infiltrated by a perception of nothing good can come out from any genuine mission and this negative perception can only be cured when the Nigerian government are ready to come out clean to fight against crude oil theft.

Empowering the military and other consortium agents are the only strength to galvanize the security safety of our national assets. If the federal government and the stakeholders continue to relent on their inability of not ensuring these institutions are financial empowered to assist in tackling crude oil theft, it shall continue to jeopardize the efforts of any committee set up to look into the continous crude oil theft predicament that had bedevilled our nation's crude production.

The federal government and the stakeholders which are the international oil companies and the national oil companies with other stakeholders like the marine industry must call a spade a spade.
