Power Supply To Worsen As Vandals Burst Pipeline by Omooba77: 6:30am On Jan 20, 2015 |
Power supply in the country might worsen in the coming days as the Federal Government said on Monday that the Trans Forcados pipeline was vandalised by yet-to-be identified persons.According to the Federal Ministry of Power, the vandalism incident was recorded over the weekend and was the third since the beginning of this year on the pipeline.It said the damage on the Trans Forcados pipeline at Oteghele area of Bayelsa State caused crude oil spill.The ministry said in a statement, “Consequent upon this incident, all oil and gas production into this pipeline has been shut down to allow for damage assessment and repairs. The duration of the disruption has not been estimated yet by sector technical experts, but it is expected to reduce the volume of gas available for power generation whilst the situation lasts.”It will be recalled that the 24-inch TFP section of the Trans Forcados pipeline at Okuokoko/Ugbomro was vandalised on January 2, 2015.Two days later, the vandals reportedly destroyed the 24-inch TFP section at Egbokodo and the 28-inch TFP section at Yeye /Chanomi.According to the ministry, experts went to work immediately at the vandalised sections and after about one week on each section, repairs were effected and the pipeline was put back to use.The Minister of Power, Prof. Chinedu Nebo, appealed for the understanding of electricity consumers, because of the reduction in power supply that the development might cause in some parts of the country.The minister described as “painful” the possible motive of sabotage in view of the established cycle of vandalism incidents always coming on the heels of achieved high generation levels.He, however, assured Nigerians that the ministry’s collaboration with the Office of the National Security Adviser and the security forces had resulted in the arrest of some pipeline vandals in the recent past. http://www.punchng.com/business/money/power-supply-to-worsen-as-vandals-burst-pipeline/ 1 Like |

The vandalism of gas pipe lines that aids power generation is beyond human reasoning! It is not like the vandals take the gases away or use them for any useful purpose, they just open these pipes to free air to waste. What or who could be behind this devilish act? What purpose are they trying to achieve ? Other than being a stumbling block to GEJ's administration in reaching an all time high power generation and distribution, I cannot phantom any other idea even if a foolish one. This vandalism reeks of the desperate opposition to paint the FG in a bad state just like the issue of boko haram in the north. The opposition knows that if boko is ended just as light is steadily available, they stand far lesser chances in wining GEJ at the polls. In the spirit of patrotisim and fairness, the opposition should stop this act of madness and restrain from discrediting the government through unethical and immoral means. This great country belongs to all of us despite our difference. Rather than work to damage it, we should be working to build it up. |
