That\u2019s the truth. Civil defence is involved. The army is involved. The Police are involved. Navy is involved. Let us tell ourselves the simple truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe oil and gas sector remained the mainstay of the nation\u2019s economy and that the people owed it as a duty to protect the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of us we owe it a duty to see how we can salvage this country. 80 per cent of the revenue of this country comes from oil and if we cannot reduce or stop this illegal oil bunkering, this country is in for a problem. And so, we must all work together to help this country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy administration remains committed to the fight against illegal bunkering adding that it achieved tremendous results following the reduction of soot and oil theft.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) should show appreciation to Rivers Government by discharging corporate social responsibility to Rivers similar to what NNPC was doing elsewhere.\u201d He said.<\/p>\n<p>Inaugurating the 14 ballistic gunboats, the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice-Admiral Awwal Zubairu Gambo said maritime terrorism, oil theft, and piracy were major challenges that the Navy had continued to confront.<\/p>\n<p>Gambo, who said Nigeria exited the International Maritime Bureau global list of countries prone to piracy, thanked Wike for the donation, and the initiative taken in waging war against artisanal refining activities, which he said gave more impetus to security agencies.<\/p>\n<p>He said there was a need to emulate Wike, who had mustered the political will to wage the war against operators of illegal refineries, with the support of local government chairmen.<\/p>\n<p>He observed that the chairmen were identifying and destroying illegal bunkering sites and arresting perpetrators.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, the Flag Officer Commanding Eastern Naval Command, Rear Admiral I.A. Dewu lauded Wike for the donation of the boats saying the gesture would complement the Navy\u2019s efforts to eradicate illegal oil bunkering and refining in the state and the entire Niger Delta.<\/p>\n<p>The Managing Director of Abitto Global Services, Richard Akinaka, whose firm built the gunboats, thanked the Rivers State government for awarding an indigenous firm the contract for the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has dismissed insinuations that governors were putting security votes in their private pockets instead of using the money to fight crimes within their domains.
