The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) has expressed worries  over the drop in oil production  in the country occasioned by bombings of oil and power installations in the Niger Delta.
President of the union, Comrade Igwe Achese, in a statement in Lagos at the weekend, said that the current challenges facing the oil production capacity can only be addressed by bringing back the private security agencies that were approved by the last administration which was profitable to the Oil and Gas industry and the Nation in general.
He argued that  when the services of these security agencies were employed by the former Government, the Nation’s pipelines were more secured and crude oil production was at its peak of 2.4 million barrels per day and there was respite.
He said  it was unacceptable for our crude Oil production to plummet to only 900,000 barrels per day now in view of the current recession.
