tackling the issue of pipelines vandalism have shown remarkable progress, as
disruption of oil flow dropped to 221 in August, down from 311 points in July,
according to the latest data from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation

number of pipeline vandalised points relative to July, 2016. The Corporation
stated in its August Monthly Financial Report (MFR), released, that the spate
of pipeline vandalism in the country has shown remarkable improvement,
following Federal Government and NNPC’s sustained engagements with the Niger
