By government’s own admission, what is lost to crude oil theft alone is about 10% of Nigeria’s total crude oil production of about 2.5million barrels per day (MMbpd). This is almost two and a half times the total production of our neighbour, Ghana. Section 118 (5) of the PIB requires oil producing communities to safeguard oil installations located in their various locales. The implication of this responsibility is that these communities may be held accountable in the event of any vandalism of oil installations in their localities. Can oil producing communities really help curb the escalating theft of crude? How effective will community policing of oil installations be? spacesforchange.blogspot/2013/07/pib-can-oil-producing-communities-stop_4202.html
