Explaining that the Federal Government was going to be tough on pipeline vandals, Kachikwu pointed out that measures had been put in place to ensure that the pipelines were protected.

“I am very focused on the pipelines; it is no longer a good enough excuse that people are sabotaging the pipelines. We have got to deal with those saboteurs and we are going to go extremely tough on this. If we can make the pipelines work, we will get crude supply and get higher volume easier.

“We are on the verge of bringing in a lot of engineers to help with pipeline protection. We should be looking at aerial surveillance by helicopters, surveillance by the military and obviously naval surveillance as long as we can. But we have to also engage the communities,” the NNPC GMD said.
