 Stakeholders of oil-producing communities in Delta States have erred the federal government not to stop awarding pipeline surveillance contracts in Inlandia Delta, but rather increase funding for oil and gas pipeline security in order to achieve better results. The stakeholders hosting OMLs at 30 and 40 say failure to do this will pave way for thieves and other vandals to have a field day which will in turn cripple the nation's oil production output and the blue economy being championed by President Bola Amitinibu. They say suit and other deadly substances which used to rain down in the Delta ask a result of illegal refining of petroleum products by hoodlums have disappeared since the government took the issue of pipeline security seriously. Anybody that says our issue of surveillance should be shaved aside that the place is secured they are just deceiving us it's never secured. If you say you stop you are stopping these security activities these surveillance activities these intelligence gathering activities certainly you are encouraging criminalities in the Delta region and once you encourage that and these people tamper with this pipeline it will destroy the blue economy we're all looking forward to. Increase even the funds because security is very expensive. Here I was talking about confidentiality, confidentiality is an expense not to talk of other expenses security expenses so we are calling on government not only to retain but to increase funds for security's pipeline because the pipeline is the lifeblood of the where the government is trying to do some changes why to let their support to balance that structure that they do very well since they came in oil, bunker and the grocery juice the government you know through their data showed it even in their in their records. Pipeline from social came in as OMS in 2017 and so that time production was close production was about 50,000 barres per day well since they came in as Astu Kutu is about 85,000 barres per day these taxes are there with NMPC. Trust me brother if you look at the rate that bunkers destroyed but we pre-submitted them today NPDC we tell you NPDC is whatever the pump is what they receive excavation today we take over it it is what they pump in excavation they receive but for almost four years now they are not pumping
