Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila said on Tuesday that the nation is losing about 400,000 barrel of crude oil daily to crude oil theft.
The Speaker, who said this at a public hearing on crude oil theft, explained that money from crude oil stolen from the country would have been appropriated and used to improve the nation’s educational and health care system.
