EFFECTS OF SABOTAGE IN OIL AND GAS SECTOR IN NIGERIA | Journal of Global Ecology and Environment

The impacts of sabotage in Nigeria's oil and gas sector were investigated in this study. Data was gathered from both primary and secondary sources. There were in-depth interviews conducted. It was decided to employ the questionnaire. In order to validate the questionnaire, people's opinions were used. Each community agreed that sabotage was a possibility. Vulnerable were 33.3 percent in Ikot Edibon, 82.2 percent in Ibeno, 77.8% in Onna, 72.5 percent in Esit Eket, 82.6 percent in Oron, 73.3 percent in Ekakprame, 97.7% in Eket, 95.2 percent in Uzere, and 86.7 percent in Bomadi. Overall, 77.5 percent of locals in oil-producing communities believe the pipeline is vulnerable to sabotage, while 22.5 percent disagreed over the survey period. Principal component analysis was used to analyse the data collected (PCA). Factors 1 and 2 have explained variances of 4.177656 and 2.822344, respectively, whereas the joint effect of this result from the Eigen value correlation matrix explains 100%, indicating that the isolated factors are responsible for 100% of sabotage. Recommendations were made based on the findings.
