OPC Members Jonathan Hired Pulls Out Of NNPC Pipeline Surveillance Contract

The Oodua People's Congress said it would pull
out its men from protecting all Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, pipelines
nationwide from Monday evening.
Yinka Oguntimehin, the spokesman for Gani
Adams faction of the congress, said this in an
interview in Lagos on Monday.
Mr. Oguntimehin said that this became
necessary because the corporation had yet to
start paying for the work its men are doing.
He said the corporation was, as part of the
contractual agreement entered into, three
months ago, expected to start payment.
The spokesman said that the OPC personnel had
continued to guard the pipelines with the belief
that the corporation would pay as promised.
"When we were given the contract on March 15,
it was agreed that they will release money for
the OPC personnel for effective protection of the
NNPC pipelines nationwide.
"We lost one man last month because of the
activities of the vandals here in Lagos, while
some of our men were arrested in the course of
protecting the pipelines.
"We had told them to release some of our
money before the new administration took over,
but they kept promising us.
"Enough is enough, three months have passed
since our members started monitoring the
pipeline, and we have fulfilled our part of the
agreement.
"By 10p.m today, our personnel will move out of
the NNPC pipelines nationwide and this applies
to other groups in the country", he said.
It would be recalled that the outgone
administration of President Goodluck Jonathan
had in March, 2015 awarded a multi-billion
Naira contract to the OPC to secure NNPC
pipelines in the South-West region of the
country.
