This commendation is coming from the spokesperson of the NUPRC, Eniola Akinkuotu, while responding to issues bordering on Nigeriaâs increased crude oil production on ARISETV Morning Show Tuesday, October 7.
Mr. Eniola Akinkuotu, explicitly stated that since 2021 to date, TANTITA Security Services has been able to help combat crude oil theft by about 98 percent, leading to increased crude oil production and making Nigeria hit up to 1.7 million, reiterating that Nigeria can meet up to 2 million barrels per day if not for the OPEC quota cut.
While responding to the bid round for new oil blocs, Mr. Akinkuotu said they are waiting for directives from the federal government in order to go ahead with it.
