Nigeria has restarted its northern Kaduna refinery, an official at state oil firm, NNPC told Reuters on Monday after a pipeline pumping crude to the plant resumed operations.
The refinery, which has a capacity of 110,000 barrels a day, resumed on Saturday, said Ohi Alegbe, a spokesman for NNPC. He gave no production data.
Nigeria’s four ageing oil refineries produced nothing in October, despite a goal from the state company to produce 30 per cent of its own gasoline in 2016.
Despite exporting two million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, Nigeria is almost wholly reliant on imported gasoline, kerosene and other petroleum products.
