Oil: CDS Musa Rallies Stakeholders For Tinubu’s 2.5mbpd Target
Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa, yesterday, told stakeholders in the oil and gas industry to work collectively to ensure that President Bola Tinubu’s mandate on the attainment of 2.5 million barrels per day (mbpd) oil production was achieved in the Niger Delta.
Musa spoke at a meeting with stakeholders in the country’s oil and gas industry, held at 6 Division, Nigeria Army, Port Harcourt.
Speaking with representatives of oil giants and other stakeholders at the meeting, Musa expressed the belief that through collective action, the country’s level of crude oil production would rise from the current 1.8 million to 2.5 million this year.
He stated that oil production was critical for the country’s socio-economic development, and regretted that in the past, numerous factors significantly diminished the production output, with dire implications for the economy.
Earlier, in his welcome address, Musa said the meeting was intended to serve as a crucial platform for fostering dialogue and enhancing synergy between stakeholders in the oil and gas industry.
The CDS stressed that the presence of representatives from the stakeholders at the meeting underscored the importance they ascribed to a unified approach to mitigating the challenges hindering oil production in the country.
