The National Assembly joint Committees on Petroleum Resources on Wednesday rejected three petitions challenging the pipeline surveillance contract awarded to Tantita Security Service. The committees affirmed their confidence in Tantita Security Service, other security agents, and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) for their role in boosting the country's oil output. Oil production, according to available records, stood at about 1.8 million barrels per day following the interventions. The lawmakers commended the collaboration between the security providers and the NNPCL, stating it had significantly reduced pipeline vandalism and theft. No details were provided about the content or origin of the petitions. The committees did not indicate plans to review the contract terms or initiate further investigations into the company's operations.
