The Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), has assured host communities of the Trans Niger Pipeline (TNP) that their concerns on the pipeline protection would be adequately addressed.
The ONSA spoke at a monthly stakeholders’ engagement organised by the Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) held in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Friday.
Represented at the meeting by Mr. Young-Harry Amachree, the NSA assured that all sentiments and opinions expressed by the community people would be looked into.
At the meeting, the host communities had urged the PINL to fulfill the long-promised scholarship for students and women empowerment.
This is even as the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL) has declared that the collaboration between host communities of TNP and PINL has led to an increase in oil production and contributing to greater revenue for the country.
