Nigeria mulls Niger pipeline
Nigeria NNPC Group Managing Director Maikanti Bari allegedly made comments to that end at a meeting with refinery personnel on Sunday. “Due to challenges with the aged refinery and crude oil pipelines that have been breached […] the operations of the refinery have been epileptic,” was quoted as having said. As of November 2016, the capacity utilisation rate of the Kaduna refinery stood at 18.78%.
According to Bari, NNPC is studying a 1,000-kilometre pipeline from Agadem in Niger to Kaduna, a project that is reportedly being championed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
