The National Executive Council (NEC) has promised to work to improve Nigeria’s oil production profile.

The NEC Committee on Crude Oil Theft and Management made this known at its inaugural meeting in Abuja.

The committee also developed an action plan that would be used to confront crude oil theft head-on and identify the areas of leakage.

Speaking with journalists after the meeting, the chairman of the committee and Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, said the committee was up to task on crude oil theft.

Other governors present at the meeting include Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta), Lucky Aiyetadiwa (Ondo), Bassey Otu (Cross River), Mai Bala Buni (Yobe), and Deputy Governor of Bayelsa State, Lawrence Ewhrudjakpo.
