The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has completed the rehabilitation of the pipeline at the Satellites depots area, The PUNCH has learnt.
The repairs were carried out through the NNPCL subsidiary, NNPCL Pipeline and Marketing.
Chairman, of Satellite Depots, Akin Akinrinade, told Sunday PUNCH that the pipeline had been repaired and is currently being used to transport products to its members.
“Satellite depots started loading at about 12:30 pm on Tuesday after 15 months of inactivity.
“We now load through the pipeline because the integrity has been restored,” he noted, adding that loading products through the pipelines would not be a one-off arrangement.
Akinrinade confirmed that his members had started receiving products since last week Friday.
The depot had been moribund due to pipeline vandalism which made NNPCL halt supplies of products to the depot.
