The National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, on Saturday, said Nigeria is still losing 400,000 barrels of crude oil daily to local and international thieves despite efforts to end the menace.
Ribadu disclosed this when he led a presidential delegation to inspect oil and gas facilities at Owaza in Abia and Odogwa in Etche Local Government Area of Rivers State.
According to him, the activities of oil thieves and pipeline vandals had impacted negatively on the nation’s economy and were partly responsible for the rising cost of living in the country.
