NNPC has reopened the Mosimi oil depot in Nigeria’s Ogun state after a year of inactivity due to vandalism on a major pipeline. According to NNPC’s group managing director, Maikanti Baru, the restart of operations at Mosimi is a major milestone in the state-run firm’s bid to boost supply and distribution of petroleum products across Nigeria.
The shutdown of the facility greatly affected commercial activities in the region. It also put a lot of pressure on NNPC as it had to move trucks from Lagos to substitute the vandalized pipeline that is connected to the depot.
Baru said the NNPC will bring back online more pipelines. “This effort will continue. Already, plans are underway to re-commission System 2D (Kaduna-Kano; Kaduna-Jos; Kaduna-Suleja) pipeline. Very soon Kano, Jos and Suleja will experience the impact of our collective resolve to get these critical infrastructures back on stream,” he stated.
