What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Lawmakers in the House of Representatives rejected calls for the decentralization of the pipeline surveillance contract awarded to Tantita Security Services Nigeria Limited. They stated the contract was a private commercial agreement between the Federal Government and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), and had no statutory link to the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA). Separately, ex-agitators in Akwa Ibom State wrote to President Bola Tinubu supporting the Presidential Amnesty Programme Administrator, stating the programme is a strategic peace-building intervention for the Niger Delta.
