Dr. Maikanti Baru, Group Managing Director, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), has appealed to oil pipeline vandals to stop the act, saying the development is counterproductive on the nation’s economy.

Baru, who spoke on Friday when he received a delegation of the Nigerian Environmental Society who was at the NNPC Towers Abuja for a business meeting, noted that the ugly incidents of petroleum pipeline burst presented a huge loss  for the vandal, the environment and the economy.
