Ahmad Lawan, on Tuesday tasked heads of security and paramilitary agencies to do more to checkmate smuggling of petroleum products out of Nigeria.

Present at the meeting were the Comptroller General of Nigerian Customs Service, Col. Hameed Ali, Commandant General, Nigerian Civil Defence Corps, Ahmed Abubakar Audi, representative of the Director General of the State Security Service, San Gesto and representative of the Comptroller General of Nigerian Correctional Service, Haliru Ishaka Abdulmumini

The Senate President told his guests, “We are all aware that some of the products particularly the PMS is smuggled out and yet we paid subsidy on what is smuggled out. “At a point I will hold a meeting with the National Security Adviser who is supposed to coordinate the entire security apparatus for protecting our borders.

“The figures of what we consume in the country continue to fluctuate. At one point it was almost 100 million litres per day and surely this is difficult to believe that we consume almost 100 million litres per day within our borders. Certainly, a good percentage of it goes out.
