In connivance with criminal elements that have the knowledge of the network of oil pipelines that runs through the creeks of the Niger Delta, which links onshore well heads to flow stations and export terminals, oil thieves carry out multiple breaches on this important artery of oil production to criminally divert products away to the booming market for stolen crude.
While the NNPC L has prepared the ground for the implementation of the new presidential directive by recovering the over 5,000 breaches on vital oil and gas infrastructure, which has resulted in a marginal increase in oil production in recent times, the state owned oil giant must be relieved of the responsibility and burden of hiring private security companies to combat oil theft.
It’s essential to acknowledge that news production incurs expenses, and we take pride in never placing our stories behind a prohibitive paywall.But to gain the support and cooperation of members of the host oil producing communities and earn their trust in the war against pipeline vandalism and oil theft, the Nigerian state through its intervention agencies must do more to improve the socio-economic well-being of the people of the Niger Delta.
