Nigeria announced on Monday that the Warri refinery has partially resumed operations after nearly a decade of inactivity. The country has experienced a series of prolonged shutdowns, leading to a heavy reliance on imported fuel. Mele Kyari, head of the state oil company NNPC, stated, "The plant is running. We have not yet completed 100% of the work." According to a statement signed by presidential spokesman Bayo Onanuga, the Warri refinery has a daily output of 0.125 million barrels and is currently running at 60% of its capacity. The total capacity of Nigeria's four state-owned refineries is 0.445 million barrels per day, including the Kaduna refinery in the north with a capacity of 0.11 million barrels per day, and three refineries located in the oil-rich Niger Delta, including Warri. Last month, NNPC announced that it had resumed operations at the Port Harcourt refinery in the Niger Delta, which produces 0.06 million barrels per day. The company originally planned to restore all four refineries this year.
