Nigeria’s crude oil production reaches 1.66m barrels per day

The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has said Nigeria’s crude oil production has reached 1.66 million barrels per day. The spokesperson for the Service, Abdullahi Maiwada disclosed this during the monthly news conference, organised by the Strategic Communication Interagency Policy Committee (SCIPC) hosted by the NCS, on Thursday in Abuja.

He said that the feat was achieved through the contributions of the Nigerian Navy`s aggressive campaign against crude oil theft under its `Operation Delta Sanity`, which destroyed 15 illegal refinery sites, 17 wooden boats, and 10 refining ovens across Bayelsa, Rivers, Delta, and Ondo States.

“These efforts have contributed to Nigeria’s crude oil production reaching 1.658 million barrels per day, reinforcing the Navy’s role in safeguarding the nation’s economic interests,” he said.

He said that a massive refinery site with a capacity of two million litres per day was dismantled along the Ogoloma-Bakana waterways in Rivers.

“Additionally, 72 bags of cannabis sativa were seized, and four suspects, including three Ghanaians and one Beninois, were arrested,” he said.

He said that the Nigerian military troops have neutralised 1,166 terrorists, arrested 1,096 suspected terrorists and criminal elements, and rescued 721 kidnapped hostages in August.

He said the troops arrested key terrorist leaders to cripple their groups` activities, to address the menace of kidnappings across the nation.

“Among those taken off the battlefield were key terrorist leaders and commanders, including Munir Arika, Sani Dilla, and Ameer Modu in the Northeast, and Kachalla Dan Ali Garin Fadama, Sani Baka Tsine, and Ibrahim in the Northwest.

“The strategy of dismantling these terror groups by targeting their leadership, commanders, and collaborators is significantly diminishing their capacity to carry out major offensives,” he said.

He said that the military during the period under review recovered 391 weapons, and more than 15,000 rounds of ammunition, and disrupted oil theft activities worth more than N5 billion.

The spokesperson stated that the NCS, as part of its efforts to suppress smuggling to the barest minimum, recorded 83 seizures across various commands.

He said that the seizures include 170,000 litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), 3,083 bags of foreign rice, 1,014 parcels of Cannabis Sativa, 23 vehicles, and other contraband, with a total Duty Paid Value (DPV) of more than ₦975 million.

He said that the NCS also intensified its `Operation Whirlwind` to combat the smuggling of petroleum products, especially in border states.

According to him, the move over the months has led to the interception of seven PMS trucks, the sealing of 12 retail outlets, and the seizure of 466,000 litres of PMS and 23 vehicles.

“Investigations have led to the prosecution of seven suspects, and three marketers have been fined by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), with sealed filling stations transferred for further action,” he said.

He added that the service in August collected ₦277.5 billion in import duties and ₦15.8 billion in excise duties, demonstrating its commitment to maximising revenue.

He said that the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) anti-smuggling efforts led to the interception of 97 trafficked victims, with 87 cases handed over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) and 10 reunifications.

“The NIS also launched an anti-corruption campaign, conducted workshops at five international airports, and upgraded its Country Signing Certificate Authority (CSCA) and Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to meet the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards.

“Additionally, NIS collaborated with the Netherlands on Hostmanship Training and eased out 61 foreign nationals to address irregular migration,” he said.
