Illegal oil pipelines: Gov. El-Rufai slams SERAP
Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai, the governor of Kaduna State, has slammed the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) for threatening to sue the President Muhammadu Buhari’s led administration over the discovery of illegal oil pipelines.
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) last week said it uncovered an illegal 4-kilometer (km) pipeline from Forcados terminal to the sea, and a loading port that had operated undetected in the last nine years.
Mele Kyari, group chief executive officer (GCEO), NNPC Limited, said this on Tuesday when he appeared before the senate joint committees on petroleum (upstream and downstream), and gas.
According to him, “Oil theft in the country has been going on for over 22 years but the dimension and rate it assumed in recent times is unprecedented. The Brass, Forcados, and the Bonny terminals, are all practically doing zero production today.
