Nigeria’s struggling oil refineries are back in production and making enough gasoline to help “stabilise” its availability in the country, a spokesman for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) said on Tuesday.
Despite being one of Africa’s biggest oil exporters, the country imports nearly all its gasoline as it has struggled to produce fuel at its ageing refineries, which have suffered from years of neglect and perennial sabotage.
NNPC spokesman Ohi Alegbe said the Port Harcourt, Warri and Kaduna refineries were producing a total of 6.76 million litres of gasoline per day, adding that this was projected to rise to more than 10 million litres per day by the end of January.
