Nigeria's Warri Refinery Reopens After Decade-Long Closure

Nigeria has resumed some operations at its Warri oil refinery after almost a decade of shutdowns, due to technical issues.

Warri Refinery, which has a capacity of 125,000 barrels per day has been shut down for years due to disrepair and crude shortages, but it is now running at 60% capacity, according to Bayo Onanuga, the presidential spokesperson.

President Bola Tinubu described the re-opening of the refinery as a remarkable achievement in 2024, which has strengthened Nigerians' faith in him. He praised the management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) under the leadership of Mele Kyari for their efforts to restore Nigeria's glory and pride as a major oil-producing nation.
