Suspected militants on Monday vandalised the Trans-Niger pipeline in Ogoniland in the Niger Delta region, reducing the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation’s crude oil production by 150,000 barrels per day.

According to the Group Managing Director, NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru, the country has not been able to sustain the recent gains recorded in crude oil production as a result of the rupturing of pipelines in the region.

When asked if the corporation had been able to sustain the 2.2 million bpd crude production that it announced last week, Baru told journalists in Abuja, “Unfortunately, we have not been able to sustain it because we have challenges.

“As I am talking to you, this morning (Monday), the Trans-Niger pipeline has been breached in Ogoniland, and that is 150,000 barrels of oil that have been knocked off. That has been fairly an issue with that area. We hope we can continue our dialogue and this will return to what it should be.”

The NNPC boss told stakeholders in Abuja last week that the country’s crude production was 2.2 million barrels per day.

Baru, who spoke through the corporation’s Chief Operating Officer, Gas and Power, Mr. Saidu Mohammed, had announced that the country’s crude production was building up.

“We are doing about 2.2 million bpd today, but of course, the intention is to build on that, sustain production and grow it up to three million barrels per day in the next few years,” the GMD had said.

Commenting on the ongoing African Petroleum Producers Organisation extraordinary session in Abuja, Baru stated that Nigeria gave birth to the body.

He said, “In the first instance, Nigeria is the one that gave birth to the African Petroleum Producers Association, which as part of reorganisation, is changing its name to African Petroleum Producers Organisation, and that is giving some form of permanency in the organisation.

“Nigeria continues to be dominant in it. There is a great drive in Nigeria to reposition the whole industry. We are looking beyond the immediate and transforming ourselves. We have had it earlier where we are producing, refining and satisfying ourselves.

“However, there are certain issues surrounding the development of globalisation, whereby government is going out of doing commercial business and that will be the next phase in bringing back the glory. There is a huge market in Africa and we are going to take advantage of that.”

I think it's in response to Jonathan's house that was sealed , we knew this would happen


But that's Ok, Osibanjo may seem like a humble pastor , but he's human too, If Buhari does not send soldiers to Ogoniland again, eventually Osibanjo will be forced to act


Then some brainless parasites will accuse Yoruba people of backstabbing them


Crude price has been at it's lowest since 2014/2015, every droplet of oil matters


but don't mind me , i am just expressing reality and i do not expect everybody to understand

Must the country depend on crude oil sales?

Whatever happened to the election promise of economy diversification?

When we did not lose 150,000bpd, how did the income translate into anything for Nigerians?

Mtsheeeeeeeew

We don't need this nonsense bombing at all!!!


Thunder scatter those militants!!!


Buhari is a failure!!!


APC apologists are lunatic!!!

When will this nonsense stop for God sake. Militancy is not and will never be the best way to sustain good life. As well, FG is too patient these days giving rooms for all sorts of evil activities especially from the south. The acting president needs to act fast. We shouldnt wait until people like KANU holds the country to ransom.

Jonathan boys at it again

Those guys were Army doing what navy should be doing except they're from the amphibious unit.


US has naval officers who got drowned too. So no big deal. The Cameroon BIR too went missing. Being a military personnel doesn't equate to being perfect.

This boys again...

Haba table top,fear God na

All the Oil that has been pumped and sold since Buhari came to power, what has all that money been used for ?

Make we leave the Oilee self. Make we do something else. Make we prove say we can do better without oil.

Another round of wahala again

.

The miscreants and their sponsors were disappointed about the good news on the President's health condition, hence the relapse to pipeline vandalism. Who are they helping? I pity that environment!

You have to bring in the Yorubas into this discussion because your brain is not functioning at optimum capacity

No one has cared to send even $30B to my account. I am not understanding why I should be a Nigerian but has not received a 1$ for all the oil the Cabal that owns Nigeria pumps and share.
