Trans-Niger Pipeline (TNP) in Rivers State has resumed operations after a temporary shutdown due to a fire incident on Monday night.
Gatekeepers News reports that the fire erupted along the Bodo-Bonny road, causing concerns about potential environmental damage and oil supply disruption in the region.
According to Tony Okonedo, Renaissance Group’s spokesperson, “Operations have resumed. We previously suspended operations to respond to a third-party interference, but now we have resumed.”
The TNP is a critical federal oil transport line that feeds crude oil to the Bonny export terminal in Rivers State.
The incident occurred amid political tension in Rivers, with lawmakers commencing impeachment proceedings against Governor Siminalayi Fubara on Monday.
President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in Rivers on Tuesday, suspending Fubara, his deputy, and members of the state assembly.
