Nigeria’s oil production has taken a hit due to problems plaguing the Trans Niger Pipeline (TNP), according to a statement released by the Federal Government (FG) on Friday.
This development raises concerns about the country’s ability to meet its oil output quota set by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its overall economic performance.
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, said the drop in production was due to issues encountered on the Trans Niger Pipeline.
