Is it possible for us to clear this discrepancy in the figures on our daily production levels. The Defence Minister, says it is 1.3 million bpd, while word doing the rounds suggest 1.8 million bpd. Who is collecting the money from the missing 500,000 barrels per day?!?? It has also been said that ministers, and legislators have their own ‘allocation’ depending on rank. Monkey by grade.
