Nigeria’s refining capacity is at one-sixth of total demand, the African country’s oil minister has claimed.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Ibe Kachikwu said the daily domestic refining capacity is now at 6 million litres.
However the country’s daily consumption stands at 35 million litres.
Nigeria is pushing to refurbish its ageing refineries, as the country is still mainly dependent on exporting crude oil for imports of refined products.
