CCSOGG Demands Evidence on Pipeline Surveillance Contracts
The Coalition of Civil Society Organisations for Good Governance (CCSOGG) has urged for an evidence-based assessment of surveillance contracts for pipelines in the Niger Delta. The coalition expressed concern over unverified claims regarding the value and performance of Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) and its Project Director, Osahon Okunbo.
CCSOGG's spokesman, Comrade Declan Ihekaire, stated that legitimate inquiries about government contracts should rely on official documents and verifiable evidence, rather than unsubstantiated allegations. The coalition rejected claims that PINL and Okunbo are beneficiaries of a fictitious ₦2.7 trillion pipeline surveillance arrangement, emphasizing that no credible evidence has been presented to support such allegations.
They called for the relevant authorities to disclose contracts, payment schedules, and performance records to allow public scrutiny. The coalition warned that attaching such a significant figure to an individual involved in national security could have dangerous implications.
