Vice President Yemi Osinbajo called on militants to stop
attacking oil pipelines and instead join other stakeholders to fully
maximize the oil while it still exists as the global economy was already
moving away from oil.
Osinbajo asked the people in the Niger Delta region to make good use of the proceeds from oil, saying the product may soon become unprofitable.
The vice president made these comments at the 2nd National Council Meeting on the Niger Delta held in Akure, the capital of Ondo State.
While noting that Nigeria currently relied on oil for its foreign exchange earnings, Osinbajo observed that as countries around the world moved towards cleaner alternative sources of energy, Nigeria and its Niger Delta region stood at a disadvantage, unless drastic steps were taken to stem the over-dependence on the product.
