The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, on Tuesday, said that repairs on the Escravos–Lagos gas pipelines had been completed.

The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division of the Corporation, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Abuja that the corporation commenced repairs immediately it received the report of leakage on the pipeline.

“Gas supply has been restored to the affected Power Plants same day,’’ he said.

The Transmission Company of Nigeria on Saturday said that power generation had reduced due to report of a leakage discovered on the Escravos-Lagos gas pipeline system.

It said that emergency maintenance of the pipeline by the Nigerian Gas Company (NGC) had affected the supply of gas to Egbin, Omotosho, Olorunsogo and Paras power.

NGC is a subsidiary of NNPC.
