After over 70 years oil exploration, the Niger Delta region continues to experience crude oil theft. In 2022 Tantita Security Services was brought to help protect Nigeria’s oil pipelines and oil installations.
What does that tell us about the Nigerian Navy? Even then there are still crude oil theft despite the pipeline surveillance and in some cases arrests are being made but certainly not the main culprits of oil theft. In this edition, we present our teeming readers with our cover story titled: Why Crude oil theft continues. The story is written ny Michael Oba-Joseph
Also in this edition is the story of the Delta State Economic and Investment Summit held recently in Asaba, the Delta state capital. Yours truly captured the event for the reading delight of our distinguished readers and advertisers.
Meanwhile, the 2027 elections which is just few months ahead is already giving some members of the electorate migraine as well as nightmares. Michael Oba-Joseph our Reporter who monitors political developments across the country did a story and titled it “Nigerians Tell Opposition Leaders to Unite or Lose 2027 Elections” It’s a must read.
Other must read stories are how two Weeks marriage ends after bride gets N70m SUV gift from her Lebanese Boss plus how Veteran Nollywood actor Richard Mofe-Damijo (RMD) revealed one of the biggest romantic gestures to his wife, by handing her the largest cheque of his acting career. There are interesting crime stories based on EFCC’s arrests, there are also our normal maritime stories and so on.
