The Managing Director of the Pipeline and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), Mrs Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, has cautioned that any oil pipeline vandal got, will be indicted with their benefits annihilated to serve as discouragement.

Mrs Nnamdi-Ogbue, who addresses correspondents when some pipeline vandals were caught on Christmas day, said that the pipelines are the main compelling approach to disperse petroleum items across the country and must be permitted to work.

The Minister of State for Petroleum, Ibe Kachikwu, said that Nigeria can't offer into the point where vandals and saboteurs turn out to be more intense than the legislature.

"Oil pipelines in Nigeria fill two needs: to disseminate raw petroleum to the nation's three refineries for preparing and to appropriate refined petroleum items the nation over for simple supply to buyers.

"Successive pipeline vandalism has made these two capacities insufficient for quite a long while," he said.

Following Petrol Distribution Trucks

Mr Kachikwu said that damage can't be completely abandoned given the innovative skill required to break the channel and siphon oil.

"The objective of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and PPMC is to repair the pipelines courses from Lagos to Port-Harcourt.

"This will make it conceivable to pump fuel completely through Lagos-Ibadan and Ilorin to calm the beach front urban areas and span the north and from Port-Harcourt through Makurdi and up to Yola", he said.

While these are on, the PPMC manager said that constant following of petrol appropriation trucks will begin completely by January 2016 which will thoroughly wipe out redirection of petroleum items and the resultant shortage of petrol.
