On tackling crude oil theft, my approach is to treat securing our national oil and gas assets as being just as important as securing the lives and property of Nigerians. I am not comfortable with a situation where government commits tens of trillions of Naira to the security of oil assets while the lives of Nigerians, who are the powerbase of our economy's productivity, are left behind.

My plan is to enhance our national security protocols broadly, by strengthening law enforcement through recruiting more manpower and deploying advanced technology to deal with all dimensions of criminality, which includes oil theft.
