Nigerian oil production witnessed a substantial increase in 2024, climbing from 1.4 million barrels per day to approximately 2 million, according to the Chief of Army Standard and Evaluation (CASE), Major General Olumuyiwa Aiyenigba.
Major General Aiyenigba attributed this to the reduction in oil theft and to the operational successes recorded by 6 Divisional, Nigerian Army (NA), in the year 2024.
A statement by the Acting Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, 6 Division, Lieutenant Colonel Danjuma Jonah, said he made this disclosure on January 3rd, 2025, at a Regimental Dinner Night hosted by Headquarters 6 Division at Python Officers’ Mess, Port Harcourt Barracks.
Major General Aiyenigba, who was the Special Guest of Honour (SGOH), further affirmed that the successes recorded also led to a decrease in environmental pollution and significantly boosted the Nigerian economy through increased oil revenue.
He assured the Division of the continuous support of Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Olufemi Oluyede, in providing the necessary support needed to sustain the achievements recorded so far.
The CASE emphasised that Dinner Night is one of the important aspects of military regimentation, stressing that he was particularly impressed with the 6 Division for sustaining the age-old military tradition that is critical in reinforcing professionalism and esprit de corps in the service.
He said the occasion fostered comradeship and solidarity among the officers, their spouses, other security agencies, and friends of the Division, as well as the NA. He added that the turnout of security agencies, traditional rulers, and other critical stakeholders, who witnessed the event, clearly demonstrated the command philosophy of the COAS, which places a high premium on effective cooperation in a joint and multi-agency environment.
Major General Aiyenigba commended the patron of the Python Officers’ Mess, Major General Jamal Abdussalam, who is the General Officer Commanding, the 6 Division, for the stellar leadership he has provided in the Division.
He also commended the President Mess Committee (PMC), Python Officers’ Mess, for the leadership he has demonstrated.
While delivering the vote of thanks, the Commander, 6 Division Garrison, Brigadier General Sàni Ahmed, who is also the President of the Mess Committee, appreciated the CASE, traditional rulers, captains of industries and other guests who made the event memorable. He reassured them of continuous synergy with critical stakeholders.
