“A total budget of N650 million was approved for the conduct of the FAAC meetings for 2018, later on, the minister gave an update of the Excess Crude Account as at Oct. 16, 2018, which stood at $2.09 billion.

Ahmed said that there was also an update on the ad hoc committee set up by NEC to address the problem of crude oil theft and its prevention and control.
