The Nigerian government has approved the sum of $21 million for the metering of 187 oil flow stations across the Niger Delta region to help promote effective monitoring of the country’s crude oil production and distribution.
Heineken Lokpobiri, Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (oil), disclosed this at a press briefing in Abuja on Friday.
Mr Lokpobiri explained that the metering project is in line with the government agenda to curb the issues of oil theft bedeviling the country’s oil and gas sector.
