The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) is discussing with security operatives to stop smuggling of petrol products across our borders.

  According to the NNPC  Group Managing Director (GMD), Dr Maikanti Baru, the Corporation is also working with security agencies to ensure safety of  ”our pipelines because we still have some areas in which vandals still disrupt our pipelines.”

 Receiving the Man of the Year Award from Nigeria NewsDirect newspaper at the weekend, the NNPC GMD said that the corporation had learnt a great lesson during the recent fuel scarcity in the country.

He said: “We have actualized the lessons learnt, part of which is to ensure that at any point in time, ­there should be sufficient products available for distribution across the country.

“Most of our PPMC depots in Ejigbo, Mosinmi, Ibadan and other parts of the nation have sufficient product for distribution now.

Baru said he dedicated the Man of the Year award to all staff of the corporation.

Also speaking, Dr Diran Fawibe, Chairman, International Energy Services, urged NNPC to ensure that the nation’s refineries worked to its full capacity.

According to Fawibe, the oil and gas sector is a major sustainer of the nation’s economy.

Earlier in his welcome address, Dr Samuel Ibiyemi, Publisher, Nigeria NewsDirect, said that the award was in recognition of the good work of distinguished Nigerians to the country’s growth.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that other Nigerians that received awards include the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr Raji Fashola and CBN Governor, Mr  Godwin Emefiele.
