A reason for the decline in Nigeria’s production can be traced to a statement reported by CEM where, Mele Kyari, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited said, Nigeria is losing 95% of oil output to criminals at oil hub Bonny, and Nigeria can only secure 3,000 barrels out of 239,000 barrels injected into the pipeline from Bonny Terminal.
