Rivers State Governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has called on traditional rulers to collaborate with the government in curbing crude oil theft and promoting stability and economic progress in Nigeria.
Addressing the 117th/118th Combined Quarterly General Meeting of Rivers State Council of Traditional Rulers in Port Harcourt on Monday, Governor Fubara emphasized the crucial role of traditional leaders in ensuring security and deterring youth involved in economic sabotage within their communities.
“It is the duty of everybody to support Nigeria’s progress and economic stability, which relies heavily on increased crude oil production,” Governor Fubara stated, highlighting ongoing challenges of illegal bunkering and pipeline vandalism.
Directing his message to the council of traditional rulers, Fubara urged proactive community leadership: “Take charge of your communities. If you have information to share with us regarding these illicit activities, please do so. Our country’s stability and economic growth hinge largely on our oil production.”
He continued, “I charge you to return to your communities and assert authority. We will support you, including providing financial assistance to establish vigilante groups if necessary.”

“All of us must remember that Rivers State is our only home. Let us not allow personal interests to undermine our collective wellbeing,” Eze Wodo concluded.
