President Muhammadu Buhari has vowed to
deal decisively with the seeming resurgence
of oil theft, vandalism of pipelines and
insecurity in the Niger Delta.
Declaring that the Nigerian Armed Forces had
already dealt “deadly blows” on Boko Haram,
Mr. Buhari said the activities of oil thieves
and vandals would soon be brought to an end,
according to a statement by his spokesperson,
Garba Shehu, on Tuesday.
“The oil thieves and abductors are a less
problematic target. We will re-organise and
deal with them,” he was quoted as saying.
Speaking Tuesday in Abu Dhabi, the president
warned telecommunication companies
operating in Nigeria not to place their desire
for huge profits above the security needs of
the country.
Speaking at an interactive forum with
members of the Nigerian Community in Abu
Dhabi, President Buhari said the war against
terrorism can only be won with the collective
effort and commitment of everyone.
Remarking that the registration of all mobile
phone users without exception will help the
security agencies to pre-empt terrorist attacks,
the president said telecommunication
companies operating in Nigeria must adhere
to the rules and guidelines of the Nigerian
Communications Commission in this regard.
President Buhari assured Nigerians at the
session that his administration’s war against
corruption will continue to be vigorously
pursued.
