The National Youth Council of Nigeria has reiterated its determination to put an end to oil theft/bunkering, pipeline vandalism and adulteration of petroleum products in Nigeria.
The council disclosed this on Monday by the Secretary of its Directorate of Petroleum and Solid Minerals and National Coordinator on the fight against oil theft and illegal bunkering, pipeline vandalism and adulteration of petroleum products, Nixon Udoka Ahanonu.
Addressing newsmen in Delta State, during a surveillance patrol of the Taskforce Committee to gather information on the illegal activities by perpetrators of economic sabotage in the oil and gas sector, Ahanonu said no amount of intimidation could deter his committee from exposing the activities of the people involved in the criminal activity.
“No amount of intimidation can stop Nigerian youths from this fight against oil theft and illegal bunkering, pipeline vandalism and adulteration of petroleum products. We have received several threats and attacks from the perpetrators of this heinous economic sabotage in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria, since we commenced surveillance patrol.
