The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has announced a state of emergency regarding crude oil production in the country.
According to Mele Kyari, CEO of the NNPC, the situation has become critical and requires immediate action.
“We have decided to stop the debate. We have declared war on the challenges affecting our crude oil production,” Kyari stated during his keynote speech at the 23rd Nigeria Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition (NOG Energy Week) in Abuja on Tuesday.
Lamenting the gravity of the situation, Kyari affirmed, “War means war. We have the right tools. We know what to fight. We know what we have to do at the level of assets. We have engaged our partners. And we will work together to improve the situation.”
The declaration of a state of emergency comes as a response to the significant issues impacting Nigeria’s crude oil production.
The NNPC has vowed to take decisive action to address these challenges and restore the country’s oil production to optimal levels.
