Oil Theft: Okowa Calls For Surveillance Contract Review
Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, has advocated a review of surveillance contracts on oil facilities to involve host communities in order to check the high rate of oil theft in the country.
Okowa made the call when he received a Federal Government delegation on anti-oil theft led by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, on Monday in Asaba, the state capital.
He said that reviewing oil surveillance contracts based on performance of the contractors and engagement of host communities would ensure effectiveness in securing the nation’s oil and gas assets.
