The Federal Government is set to execute
its new plan to safeguard the waterways
and oil pipelines. The Presidency is believed to have
directed the Police and the Nigerian
Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC)
to quit the job for some companies, which
have been signed on by the government. The companies are owned by some former
Niger Delta militants and prominent
citizens. They include Government
Tompolo; Mujaheedin Asari-Dokubo and
Chief Bipobiri Ajube (aka Gen. Shoot-At-
Sight). There is also founder of the Oodua
Peoples Congress (OPC) Dr. Frederick
Fasehun who said last night that his
company was being considered for the
multi-billion naira contract. The OPC National co-ordinator, Otunba
Gani Adams, who is also said to be part of
the deal, declined comments last night,
saying he was at a meeting. The takeover is said to be with effect from
March 16. According to a source, seven companies
have been allocated “regions” or
operational areas as follows: Egbe Security
River One (Bayelsa); Gallery Security
(Mosinmi -Ore); Close Body Protection
(Edo State); Adex Energy Security(Rivers) ; Donyx Global Concept(Lagos and Ogun);
Oil Facilities Surveillance-(Delta) and New
Age Global Security (Mosinmi-Ibadan). The Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) will coordinate the
jobs. Details of the deal are sketchy as only few
in government are in the picture. A source said: “The so-called new deal for
the protection of waterways has not been
made known to members of the Federal
Executive Council, unlike in the past. “Maybe this is an ad hoc arrangement to
achieve a political purpose because some
ex-Niger Delta militants on January 24 met
at the Government House, Yenagoa and
vowed to declare war if President
Goodluck Jonathan does not win the March 28 election. “Asari Dokubo specifically said: “We are
going to war. Every one of you should go
and fortify yourself.” Responding to a question, the source
added: “These former Niger Delta militants
are benefiting from all manner of pipeline
protection contracts. “Apart from being on retainership with
NIMASA, I am aware that in 2009, a former
Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Chief Ufot
Ekaette presented a memo on December
2, 2009 to the Federal Executive Council
for the award of the N1.8billion Kurutie Shoreline Protection and Reclamation
contract. “A company, KFT Kpudoh, allegedly
owned by Tompolo and another called
Phoenica Nigeria Limited, bid for the said
contract.” Based on the advice of the Bureau of
Public Procurement, after a thorough
technical audit, the Shoreline Protection
and Reclamation Contract was awarded to
Phoenica Nigeria Limited by FEC. But the
award of the contract to Phoenica fetched Akaette death threats. The government
later reviewed the contract.” A source in Warri, Delta State, said the
contract for pipelines in Delta State would
be executed by Oil Field Surveillance
Limited, the same company, which had
previously handled it. It is owned by
Tompolo. “What I was told is that it has been
awarded for Delta, Edo, Ondo, Bayelsa,
Rivers, Lagos and Ogun states. Like the
one of Lagos State, I learnt it’s being
anchored by Dr Frederick Fasshun and
that it’s going to commence on Monday,” the source said. The NSCDC Deputy Commandant General
in charge of Operation, Evans Ewuurum,
said the corps was yet to receive any
circular on the contracts. Nigeria has been battling with huge
revenue due to vandalism of oil and gas
pipeline. The Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral
Usman Jibrin, recently disclosed that
Nigeria had been losing an estimated
100,000 barrels of crude oil valued at
N1.18 billion daily to oil thieves. This amounts to an annual loss of N433.62
billion. The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu
Nebo, said pipeline vandalism led to
shortage of gas for firing power plants. The electricity market, which has 5,500MW
installed capacity now generates an
average of 3,575.85MW following paucity
of gas as vandals who always strike
whenever the sector is about to hit
4,500MW”.
