Speaking on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ programme, monitored by Legit.ng, Sule explained that with the expected synergy from all the relevant stakeholders in the war against oil theft and pipeline vandalism, the enabling environment would be in place for optimal oil production to the volume of 2.5 to 3 million bpd.
The All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart said:
”Nigeria has the capacity easily to produce 3 million barrels per day no doubt. What is causing us not to do that is either the theft or some of the structures that are not properly maintained.”

Fuel: Sule proud of NNPCL
Furthermore, Sule expressed pride in the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited’s (NNPCL’s) latest feats.
The Nasarawa governor said:
”It does not matter how you look at it, for the fact that we are firing the Port Harcourt refinery, the Warri refinery, it calls for celebration. Just for that.”
He added:
“As far as transparency is concerned, even the NNPC will tell you that we want to see more transparency; even them. Because they should love Nigeria more than anybody else.
“The issues of NNPC didn’t start now, it started long time ago. The issue of corruption in the system is not now. It didn’t start now, and I don’t think it is a problem that would end quickly.”
Sule concluded:
“You must congratulate them (NNPC). And I don’t think there is anything to doubt about, whether the NNPC refineries are working. They say they are producing gasoline and they say they are producing diesel, they say they are producing kerosine. You know it is in stages”
