Delta State Governor, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, has advocated for 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.
Governor Okowa stated this when he received a Federal Government delegation on anti-Oil theft led by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva, at the Government House, Asaba.
Governor Okowa stated 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.
“The surveillance contracts should be tied to performance such that when there are oil thefts you terminate the contract and it is always good that communities are involved because they know the environment better.
