“And they have the temerity to raise up a call for the termination of the pipeline surveillance contract job that is being handled by Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL).

“The call is unfounded, frivolous, baseless and false against a reputable and noble oil company. We are disappointed by some disgruntled, unscrupulous and criminal elements who have failed the country and Nigerians by their actions of criminality over the years, would descend so low by saying the officially awarded pipeline surveillance contract awarded to Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited PINL should be terminated.

“While we condemn in all totality the call made by this group of criminal elements calling for the cancelation of the pipeline surveillance contract, the leadership of Anti-Pipeline Vandalization/Oil Theft and Illegal Bunkering Task Force Group unanimously and vehemently dismiss all unfounded and baseless allegations leveled against the management of Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited, PINL.

“We are really pained to see this in the media but we want to disabuse the minds of Nigerians that the allegations are fabricated lies from the figment of their poor imagination. The PINL is a company of international repute, which operates according to best global practices, and this made the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Limited (NNPCL) to have confidence in it by awarding the contract to PINL.”
