This is a good initiative, anything to protect southern crude oil and assets and guard it safely for northern use is the priority

Good thing

The amount of pirate attacks especially in the gulf of guinea area last year were just too much

Why not south south or South east?

After that nko

OK. Sounds like another venture meant to complement Dangote refinery. At least with this surveillance, no one will just go and vandalize Dangote pipeline feeding his refinery cheap oil.
