The Management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC on Sunday said it had successfully clamped the rupture point along the Mosimi–Ibadan line and resumed fuel supply operation to Ibadan and its environs.

The repairs come less than 24 hours after men suspected to be oil thieves ruptured the Mosimi– Ibadan fuel supply pipeline along the crucial System 2B Pipeline network, which erupted in an inferno over the weekend.

The Acting Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC, Ms. Tumini Green, in a statement said a team of engineers and technologists from the NNPC and its downstream subsidiary, the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, PPMC, worked assiduously over the weekend to restore the line to normal operation.

The NNPC spokesperson said the Corporation responded quickly because of its determination in ensuring that Nigerians do not experience any form of scarcity in petroleum products supply on account of the activities of some unpatriotic citizens.
