NUPRC Seeks Deployment of Drone Surveillance to Secure Oil, Gas Assets

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) is teaming up with the defence ministry to introduce drone surveillance as a non-kinetic strategy to secure oil and gas assets, aiming to reduce theft and sabotage in the industry. This move highlights a strategic shift towards more advanced monitoring techniques to safeguard critical infrastructure. It’s crucial because oil and gas theft continues to plague the sector, causing significant financial losses and safety risks. This initiative could set a precedent for enhanced security measures in critical national industries.
