NNPC pipeline loss data (for the five regions of the country) documents over 35,000 incidents since 2005 which amount to a quantity of oil lost almost 40 times larger than the total spill volume for the Niger delta on its oil monitoring site! It is notable that NOSDRA's own data indicates that the largest individual spills in the central Niger Deltan state of Bayelsa are caused not by sabotage, but by operational failure, maintenance error or pipeline corrosion.	./cache/cord-280393-z9mttvep.txt	./txt/cord-280393-z9mttvep.txt
