After about 16 years of inactivity, pumping of petroleum products has returned to the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) deports in Aba, the Abia State capital.
This was disclosed to The Guardian at the weekend, by the Executive Director of UTM Offshore Ltd, Kennedy Azodeh, whose company is engaged in the surveillance and security of the over 209 kilometers oil pipeline right-of-way from Port Harcourt to Enugu.
According to him, petroleum supply to the area, which had been suspended due to pipeline vandalism, resumed two week ago, with about five million liters of petroleum products successfully pumped to the deports.
Azodeh, who attributed the resumption of operations to the relentless efforts of his company, in collaboration with the joint military task force, police and vigilante groups, claimed that 70 percent of pipeline vandalism has been curtailed by his company so far.
He assured that it would be further eliminated, if relevant laws were put in place and effectively enforcement.

The security expert lamented that often times when arrests are made, the culprits are let off the hook, on the condition that the offence committed is bailable.
He suggested that offenders be tried as economic saboteurs, because their offence “is worse than armed robbery, and prompt and deterring punishment ought to be imposed on the culprits, especially when they get caught in the act,’ noting that ‘when this is not so done, vandalism persists.”
Azodeh iterated that if the pipelines are secured the way his company and five others are currently doing, regular pumping of products through the pipelines, rather than use of road tankers to transport them, would make the products readily available.
“It will also reduce the price at which the products are being sold to the public, especially as any kobo spent on transporting the products by road, which takes longer time, would be added to the final cost of the products.”

Good development. Buhari is working. . .

I just hope vandals and oil thieves won't breach the pipelines anytime soon.

Aba is Not the capital of Abia.
It is Umuahia.

Ok....that's good

Win - Win situation for everybody.

PDP vandalised the petroleum industry for the last 16years.

At least Abia people won't buy fuel for 180naira during normal season again.

Where is lalasticlala sef

I hope those accusing Mr President will read this and give the man some kudos. For 16 years all through PDP rule.

God guild PMB
God Bless Nigeria.

One point to scored by buhari in the state

I n Nigeria, we re the enemies of our own peace... those who benefit from war/hardship have a special place in hell. Unless they repent. Because God I I forgiving Most Merciful. God bless Nigeria and nigerians.

Who lives in Aba? Is this true?

They can buy fuel at official rate now till one idiot wakes up one morning to burst pipeline again

I pray we dont see that.

You will never find the useless wailers here because, to them, it's sacrilege to commend any good deed from the Buhari - led administration. Meanwhile, the PDP they support suspended activities on that deport for 16 years.

That is good news

Good development

Sharap my friend.Click on the links. That depot has always functioned before now and that is why I posted those links to deflate the propaganda the Op was trying to project! 16 years? Haba.

Let me make something clear here. I know that depot in question cos I live close and I have persons working there. That depot has always being on except for a few times last two years Co's of vandals. The depot didn't start operating during this administration. It was operating even before the elections.

One more thing, The capital of Abia state is Umuahia not Aba.... says a lot about the article, Don it?
