NLC condemns renewed blowing-up of pipelines in Niger-Delta region
January 24, 2016.
The Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) on Sunday in Abuja condemned the renewed blowing-up of major oil and gas pipelines by suspected militants in the Niger-Delta region.
Mr Ayuba Wabba, NLC President, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that the issue of national security should not be taken lightly.
“Pipeline vandalism is highly condemnable; this should not be allowed to happen in a civilized society,’’ he said.
According to him, oil and gas pipeline vandalism will contribute largely to the air and water pollution of the region and reduce the revenue base of the country.
Wabba said that pipeline vandalism was a threat to national security; therefore, the issue should not be taken lightly.
He advised the Niger-Delta militants to engage in dialogue with the Federal Government rather than confrontation in resolving issue.
