Governor Fubara urges Rivers monarchs to help combat crude oil theft

Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has called on traditional rulers to collaborate with the government in curbing crude oil theft and promoting stability and economic progress in Nigeria.

Addressing the 117th/118th Combined Quarterly General Meeting of Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers in Port Harcourt on Monday, Governor Fubara emphasized the crucial role of traditional leaders in ensuring security and deterring youth involved in economic sabotage within their communities.

“It is the duty of everybody to support Nigeria’s progress and economic stability, which relies heavily on increased crude oil production,” Governor Fubara stated, highlighting ongoing challenges of illegal bunkering and pipeline vandalism.
