As the federal government resumed cash payments to militants in the Niger Delta, it was revealed on Tuesday that up to 70 per cent of oil and gas production from traditional onshore and shallow water terrain has been locked in due to the attacks on oil infrastructure in the region.
This was just as the Managing Director/CEO of Seplat Petroleum Development Company Plc, Mr. Austin Avuru, warned that the crisis in the Niger Delta has interrupted major reforms in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry, which were initiated a few years ago to increase oil and gas production for the attainment of 15,000MW of electricity and also boost economic development nationwide.
