Jonathan promises a new technology that will fight oil theft

President Goodluck Jonathan disclosed this while fielding questions at the second session of the 2015 Presidential Debate organised by the Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG), ahead of the general elections.

Jonathan said that the issue of oil theft was a serious challenge that must be dealt with, adding that the government was developing a technology to fight it to a standstill.

“The issue of stealing our common assets; we are developing a technology now, contract have been awarded and we must stop it. The issue of downstream is a combination of government and private sector; it has to do with refining, production of fertilizers, petrochemicals."

In the meantime, the seven presidential candidates on Sunday pledged to tackle the perennial problems of power supply in Nigeria.

The candidates made the pledge at the Presidential Debate organised by the Nigeria Elections Debate Group (NEDG) in Abuja.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that a total of seven political parties participated in the first session of the debate.

Nigerians, what do we think about this promise, do you think there might be a new technology?
