Slick: The Story of Oil, Shell and Nigeria. Slick: 4. The oil thieves
Released On: 27 Apr 2022Available for over a year The newest player in the Niger Delta is not a multinational company, it is Nigeria’s enormous illegal oil industry. Oil thieves cut the pipelines, siphoning off oil, which they refine in the bush and sell on the black market. BBC West Africa correspondent Mayeni Jones meets an oil thief king pin, as well as an exuberant local politician, taking on this illegal business and treks deep into the forests of the Niger Delta to visit an underground refinery. And we catch up with Victoria Bera. For decades, she has been in a prolonged legal battle against Shell in courthouses around the world. Will she finally get the justice she seeks? Presenter: Mayeni Jones Producer: Josephine Casserly Editor: Bridget Harney (Photo: Illegal oil refinery in Emuoha, Niger Delta. Credit: Fyneface Dumnamene)

Mitigation and transformation solutions to networked corruption in artisanal refining in the Niger Delta: retooling anti-corruption analysis for effective policy
In contexts where rents from a particular sector or activity are shared widely and are substantially larger than available alternatives for the widest cross-section of society, common strategies such as increasing transparency and accountability measures, targeting behaviour, or identifying incentives are unlikely to result in reduced corruption. These are contexts of ‘networked corruption’ where corruption is characterised by a hierarchy of benefits. This means that rents from the sector are captured and shared across all relevant sections of society, from high-level politicians and security agencies to local communities. In some cases, the rent capture is purely for reasons of personal gain and is the result of abuse of entrusted power. In others, corruption helps to meet an everyday need for many communities, sometimes even at the cost of social damage. As a result it is not possible to create an effective coalition to organise anti-corruption efforts. The solution here is twofold: first, design policy in a way that can reduce the social damage and help alleviate these needs for the community, and secondly, design policies that enable people to behave in ways that make self-enforcement possible, therefore reducing corrupt behaviour.

“More Money, More Problems” – Economic Dynamics of the Artisanal Oil Industry in the Niger Delta Over Five Years
This report calls for an alternative approach to tackle artisanal oil refining in the Niger Delta, based on an analysis of how the improvised artisanal oil refining value chain has adapted and changed in Bayelsa and Rivers states over the past five years. This quantitative and qualitative research is based on a comparison of primary data collected from a large sample of actors and production processes in crude oil tapping and petroleum production camps, and distribution, sales, and security agencies across Rivers and Bayelsa between 2012/2013 and 2016/2017.
