The Federal Government has announced that for the first time in many years, it has met the oil and gas sector revenue benchmark for 2025, after several years of struggle.

The cheering news by the spokesman of the Executive Chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Services Dr. Dare Adekanmbi was attributed to the sustained peace in the Niger Delta region, which he credited to the efforts of various security agencies and firms including the PINL, vested with the protection of the government investments.

Speaking at the August edition of PINL monthly stakeholders review meeting of Trans Niger Pipeline host communities of Rivers, Abia and Imo states held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital yesterday, the General Manager Community and Stakeholders Relations for PINL, Dr. Akpos Meze collaborated the assertion confirming that PINL recorded zero infraction in the past month. This, he said contributed to increased national crude oil production.

Meze noted that the FIRS announcement underscores the strength and effectiveness of the collaboration/partnership that exists among the Stakeholders, “which can be attributed to consistent application of proven strategies viz: Safety measures for surveillance personnel timely salary payments, rapid dispute resolution within communities, amongst others.

“These combined efforts have resulted in reduced downtime and increased trust,”he said.

Speaking further, he announced some of the company’s achievements including interventions in an oil spill location in Yorla, Kpean community in Khana Local government area and bursting of illegal bunkering sites in Umubule and Oyigbo communities both in Rivers State.

Mezeh, used the medium to update the stakeholders on its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) packages for youths and women of the host communities.

He, however, reiterated PINL’s commitment to sustainable energy security in the country, calling for support from all stakeholders.

“We reaffirm our unwavering commitment to sustainable energy security, in full alignment with the Renewed Hope Agenda of the Federal Government. We have a shared responsibility to rescue our economy from further bleeding, and achieving this goal requires that all hands remain on deck.

“We look forward to your honest and constructive feedback on how we can sustain and surpass our outstanding records in combating pipeline vandalism, oil theft, and environmental pollution,” he said.

Speaking at the stakeholders meeting, Head of Field Operations, Eastern Corridor of the Project Monitoring Office, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL, Engr Akponine Omojevwe called for effective collaboration between the host communities and PINL.

He noted that for the progress already achieved in the sector to be sustained, stakeholders and host communities must synergize with the surveillance company.

“We want to emphasize that there must be collaboration between PINL and the communities. PINL has gone the extra mile by approving scholarships for the host communities, they have gone out to make sure their areas of operations benefit from their activities, let us make sure that in this task of securing the pipelines, we support them, don’t destroy their equipment,” he urged.

Meanwhile, the collaborative security is operations between PINL and the Special Prosecution Task Force (SPT) of the Federal Government have led to the busting of two illegal refining sites in Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers State.

Mr Adekanmbi was attributed to the sustained peace in the Niger Delta region

muykem:
FG has won the war against oil theft. Security around oil facilities is top notch.

DeLaRue:
Wonderful.

And they want us to vote out a President that increased oil production from 1 million barrel per day to 1.8 million per day in a little over 2 years.

One of their reasons is...the President appointed Ojulari a Yoruba man as the head of NNPC.

2) Since this President came into office, not a single niger-delta agitation-related bullet has been fired. Not one. Thank you very much Niger Delta people. The President is managing the situation very well.

3) in just 2 years, FIRS is increasing revenue generation to the Federal government to unprecedented levels. This is enabling record levels of funds to be shared to State government But the opposition is bitter. Their reason? The young man heading FIRS is another Yoruba man, meaning the President is tribalistic.

So basically, instead of competent hands irrespective of where they come fro, they would rather continue the failed domination by people from a certain part of the country that have held the country back for decades.

Now the naive Mr Obi is being used like a baby by those people to destabilise the best government we have had in over 60 years...all for for the purpose of bringing back the same domineering people to come and dominate and hold the country again.

Unbelievable.

Obidients are hiding their faces. The bye election defeat and the shameful aborted rigging is too much embarrassment to them.

Here is another good news that is going to purge them

God bless you brother in all your endeavors. Our brothers and sisters from the other end are looking confused.

The thread is still on page one. This goes to show that good news doesn't travel fast. Nay Sayers have nothing to say.

Irony1:
It is because people no longer give a damn about your usual propaganda and lies. These things do not in anyway impact on the lives of the average Nigerian.

LegendHero:
Tinubu will govern this country for 8 years and by then, he would have been the greatest Nigerian president ever.

He is redirecting the revenue now and I won’t be surprised if we see over 800% increase in revenue by then. He did it in Lagos and he is doing it right here in our korokoro eyes.

I am very glad with all the result of the by-election today, it shows APC is truly on ground around Nigeria.

So you now speak for the average Nigerian? The host communities feeling the impact in the report do not share in your sentiment.

We understand if it doesn't impact you , simply because your man is not at the helm of affairs.

Irony1:
Oga I never said I am supporting anyone, truly I don't understand how you guys reason. People are suffering the unemployment numbers are rising. Anyone who dismisses it is either borderline wicked or deceitful.
