According to Abayomi, substantial part of the loss is due to stealing, noting that since oil is the mainstay of National Economy, an intelligent and exposed leader that understands the intricacies and dynamics of the sector becomes vital for national economic recovery. 

“Despite becoming an Auditor and Treasurer in the sector and thus of sound understanding of its intricacies Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu appeared to have separated himself and his business from the sector and he has not been tainted by oil greed it seems. 

“Nigeria will expect quick effort to restore her honor and her oil wealth when Tinubu becomes President next year. This should be one of his highest priorities” he maintained
