\u201cThe Nigerian economy derives its highest earnings from the oil and gas sector and the task of safeguarding the infrastructure is fundamental to development of Nigeria and indeed African.<\/p>\n

\u201cNigeria remains a leading nation in Africa and the role that the joint military force has played in tackling oil theft, piracy and militancy is very commendable and that is why we chose to give the award.<\/p>
