The week's most successful attack, shutting in 225,000 barrels per day, came against Shell's Bonga facility.

efforts should also be made to monitor the huge fund already accruing to state governments in the region as this would have gone a long way in addressing some of the developmental issues fuelling the crisis if well utilized and accounted for, adding that the challenge is the lack of capacity of state legislatures to ask relevant questions on the funds they appropriate for the executives.
