An oil spill has been reported along Jalingo settlement near Nembe Creek in Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State.
According to sources, the spill, which was noticed Monday night by some of the locals returning from fishing expedition is from a Shell Petroleum Development Company, SPDC, facility in the area.
Though the cause of the spill could not be immediately ascertained, community sources said it was fast spreading and contaminating the marine environment.
Speaking on the development, the Chairman of the Oil and Gas Committee of Nembe Kingdom, Chief Nengi James called on the company to swing into action to contain and clean up the spill.
“The well head is spewing crude oil and the entire waterways and creeks are being covered with crude oil.
“We are calling on the authorities concerned, especially Shell and other regulators to immediately go for Joint Investigation Visit and clean up the spill because it has tampered with the marine and mangrove forest, the mainstay of the peoples’ existence,” he said.

Specialized Telecoms Base Stations Diesel Supply Service

We have designed specialized diesel supply concept targeted at telecoms companies to address diesel availability challenges they're often faced with. We came up with this concept after having carefully researched and scrutinized the diesel supply needs, order frequency and consumption mode of three of the major players in the telecoms industry.

After our research, we were able to identify some challenges and have ever since designed our diesel supply concept to counter them. One of the challenges identified was the uncertainty of hiring well-maintained metered trucks with impressive meter reading accuracy.

This is very important as most trucks are fitted with tampered and fraudulently modified meter thereby causing undue shortages to their clients without them knowing it: an ugly situation which is known for causing irregular diesel ordering frequency!

Another issue of concern is the fact that most diesel suppliers accept LPO way beyond what they can handle thereby causing unnecessary delay which results in the telecoms network downtime which in effect causes untold hardship that gives birth to frustration to their subscribers. No reasonable telecoms company would tolerate such more so now that subscribers hunting by telecoms companies via number porting has become the norm.

To carry out an effective telecoms diesel supply service, it's important that these issues are properly addressed even before submitting any business proposal. At Echedos Investment Limited, our business philosophy is "the provision of cost-effective services that add great value to our customers", this is our business philosophy and we meant every bit of it.

Having considered the above mentioned issues and other factors, we came up with our own unique strategies to address them. We understand how important it is for telecoms base stations to maintain uptime consistency and as such, we handle every telecoms base station diesel supply order with absolute seriousness.
