The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on Tuesday released two portals where Nigerians can report incidents of crude oil theft in the country.
The two portals which were released by the National Oil company are http://stopcrudetheft.com and http://validate.stopcrudetheft.com
While the first portal http://stopcrudetheft.com was created to report cases of crude oil theft, the other portal http://validate.stopcrudetheft.com would help buyers and the government to validate documents from sale of crude oil through a Nigeria Export Proceeds Number.
The NNPC while releasing the portals called on Nigerians to join it in stopping crude oil theft at all production sites, pipelines, terminals, depots and the refineries.
It said that anyone who makes credible reports on the cases of crude oil would be handsomely rewarded.
“Join the fight, if you see something, say something. Handsome rewards await whistleblowers with useful information,” the NNPC said on the portal.
The NNPC Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari had last Friday during the launch of the portal said the move would help to check crude oil theft in the country and enable prompt reporting by community members.
He assured Nigerians that all the report made through the platform about crude oil theft would be treated with utmost confidentiality.
