The Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri, on Wednesday urged Nigerian Navy to work closely with the state government in checking crude oil theft, and other criminal activities in the state’s waterways.
Diri, according to a statement issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Daniel Alabrah, made the appeal when participants of Course 7 of the Naval War College led by the Commandant, Rear Admiral Saheed Akinwande, paid him a courtesy visit at the Government House, Yenagoa.
The governor, who commended the Federal Government on the efforts at tackling oil theft, stressed the need for stakeholders to stamp out bunkering in the state.
