 In a bid to stem losses associated with incessant pipeline vandalism and sundry security challenges facing the oil and gas industry, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, say it will establish a security advisory council comprising security agencies, Niger Delta leaders and International Oil Companies.

  Speaking during a visit to NNPC by the management of Media Trust Limited, the Group Managing Director of NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru said the security advisory council would involve critical stakeholders which would address all security and host community agitations.
 He also appealed to those behind indiscriminate acts of infrastructure vandalism to put an end forthwith to the acts, which he described as great threat to the economy, the eco-system and energy security of the country.
