PIPELINE TRANSPORTATION AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE TO THE MARKETING OF PETROLEUM PRODUCTS IN NIGERIA A CASE STUDY OF NNPC ENUGU AND PORT-HARCOURT
ABSTRACT
This Research examined the relevance of Pipeline transportation to the marketing of Petroleum products in Nigeria. Toward this end 83 staff of the Nigeria national Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)’s offices in Enugu and Port-Harcourt were randomly selected to form the study sample. The 83 members of the study sample were given 83 copies of structured questionnaires to complete. Their responses were used to test four hypotheses formulated for this study. The result of the test/analyses revealed the following findings.
i. The use of Pipelines facilitates the effective distribution and marketing of petroleum products in Nigeria.
ii. Pipelines reduce the costs of transporting and marketing petroleum products in Nigeria.
iii. Pipeline vandalisation is the major problem impeding the effective use of Pipelines for the distribution and marketing of petroleum products in Nigeria.
iv. The use of alarm systems and police patrol will reduce the incidence of pipeline vandalization in Nigeria.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Pipeline transportation is the youngest among the other means of transportation in Nigeria. It has not received much attention because of two major factors. One is that it is relatively a recent origin. Two is the its operations and services are not in the hands of private individuals and companies. Hence everything about pipeline transportation in Nigeria is strictly in the hands of the federal government.
