The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), is exploring `robust’ strategy and surveillance in tackling pipeline vandalism in the country.
NSCDC Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr Emmanuel Okeh, made the disclosure on Monday in Abuja in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria .
Okeh explained that the holistic strategy would entail building better synergy with other security agencies and the use of sophisticated technology surveillance on all pipeline routes across the country.
He decried the nefarious activities of vandals on national asset and described them as `sabotage’ to the nation’s economy.
“Protection of national asset is one of the primary functions of the Corp; that is why we have developed a more robust strategy to tackle the menace of pipeline vandalism,’’ he said.
Okeh said that increased surveillance and partnership with the host communities especially in the Niger Delta, had led to more arrest of the miscreants involved in the dastardly act.
He stressed the need for more training and development of NSCDC anti-vandalism unit in line with international best practice to enable the corps nip in the bud all the tactics of the vandals.
He said the organisation had mapped out new strategies and acquired modern ICT facilities that had been deployed to strategic locations where critical national assets are constantly threatened.
The NSCDC spokesman called on Nigerians, especially the host communities with pipeline routes to cooperate with security agencies to tackle the challenge of pipeline vandalism.
“We want to call on Nigerians, especially the host communities to monitor and volunteer information to security agencies on the activities of these vandals so that we can collectively defeat them,’’ he pleaded.
Okeh expressed optimism that the robust strategy would go a long way in curbing the activities of the vandals and ensure better protection of pipelines.
