The National Assembly joint committees on Petroleum Resources have expressed confidence in Tantita Security Services, security agencies, and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) for their role in restoring the country's oil production. The vote of confidence was passed on Wednesday during a meeting with committee members. Lawmakers credited the improvement in daily output to the enhanced surveillance and protection of oil infrastructure, particularly pipelines. Oil production had previously dropped due to widespread vandalism and illegal refining activities in the Niger Delta. The committees acknowledged the collaboration between Tantita, military units, and NNPCL as pivotal in curbing pipeline theft and sabotage. No specific production figures were disclosed during the session. The lawmakers also urged sustained efforts to protect critical energy assets and ensure revenue stability for the federal government.
