Over 5,000 kilometres of pipelines damaged by vandals, NNPCL discloses

Mele Kyari, the CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), has expressed regret over the negative impact vandals’ actions are having on the company’s operations.

He claimed that they have damaged more than 5,000 km of oil pipelines throughout the nation.

Kyari made this statement on Tuesday at a discussion with senators on the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream) in Abuja.

He, however, assured Nigerians that the nation’s four oil refineries would be made functional very soon.

According to Kyari, oil pipeline vandalism has been a major challenge facing the sector over several decades noting that the company had been unable to pump oil through pipelines from Warri to Benin within the last 22 years.
