The Nigerian government on Tuesday described its award of multi-billion naira pipeline surveillance contract to a former leader of the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, Government Ekpemupolo, popularly known as Tompolo, as the ‘right decision’.
The surveillance contract is reportedly worth N48 billion per year , according to a report by The Nation. “We need private contractors to man the right of way to these pipelines. So we put up a framework for contractors to come and bid and they were selected through a tender process. And we believe we made the right decision.
He said the state was happy to hear that just a few days after the visit, the federal government listened to Mr Okowa’s advice and awarded the surveillance contract to Tompolo. “Our governor’s admonition was that to check the rising oil theft cases, the Federal Government should involve the oil-bearing communities, where the oil is produced,” the statement said.
In Nigeria, it is now government of the people by criminals and for criminals.
