Our correspondent gathered that one of the online media platforms had blamed international oil companies, with particular reference to Chevron and another IOC, in the report purportedly attributed to the Chairman of the House of Representatives ad hoc committee set up to investigate crude oil theft in the region.
In a signed statement made available to journalists in Warri, Delta State on Saturday, Esimaje Brikinn, CNL’s General Manager, Policy, Government and Public Affairs noted that though it is aware of the online media report, “it is untrue, incorrect, and made without any basis”. According to him, CNL’s commitment to working with government agencies and others to prevent oil theft and its impact on the environment was recently commended by the Special Investigation Panel on Oil Theft/Losses in Nigeria set up by the Federal Government during their visit to CNL’s operation
While reiterating Chevron’s commitment to supporting the collaborative efforts to prevent oil theft and pipeline vandalism in its area of operation, the statement affirmed that illegal bunkering and oil theft in the Niger Delta region “has negatively impacted CNL’s operation and has devastating effects on the nation’s economy and the environment in the Niger Delta region”.
CNL therefore pledged to continue to monitor the environment in its areas of operations and report any suspected illegal activity and breaches to the relevant Government Security Forces and regulatory agencies.
