NDAGG Defends PINL Against Allegations of Mismanagement

The Niger Delta Ambassadors for Good Governance (NDAGG) issued a warning against unwarranted attacks on Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL), stating that such actions could harm the interests of Ijaw communities benefiting from the company's operations. NDAGG praised PINL for its role in safeguarding national infrastructure, particularly oil and gas pipelines, while also contributing to employment, economic activities, and community development in the Niger Delta.

The House of Representatives Committee on Host Communities had previously cleared PINL and its principal, Osahon Okunbo, of allegations regarding ineffectiveness and financial mismanagement in managing the pipeline security contract. NDAGG urged the public to dismiss these allegations, highlighting the significant benefits PINL provides to Ijaw communities.

The organization stressed the importance of effective pipeline security for Nigeria's economic stability and called for responsible discourse regarding pipeline surveillance operations based on verified facts.
