Shocker: NNPCL Uncovers Over 4,800 Illegal Connections On Oil Pipelines In Nigeria
Mele Kyari, the Group Chief Executive Officer of Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), has disclosed that it has discovered over 4,800 illegal connections on oil pipelines in the country.
He disclosed this while appearing before the Senate Committee on Appropriations on Friday, December 8.
He said;
“We have over 4,800 illegal connections on our pipelines. That means in some lines, within 100 kilometres of pipelines, you have as much as 300 insertions.
“Therefore, even when you produce the oil, you cannot deliver them at the required pressure and therefore the volume will also be less.”
According to the NNPCL boss, people troop in from other parts of the country to insert illegal connections on pipelines in the oil-producing Niger Delta region of Nigeria.
