LAGOS, Sept 9 (Reuters) - All four of the refineries in
Nigeria, Africa's top oil exporter, are currently shut down, the
group managing director of the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation said on Wednesday.
Mele Kyari, speaking on Nigeria's Channels TV, said the
refineries were shut down because pipelines feeding crude oil
into them were badly damaged. He also said Nigeria is in talks
over a model of operating refineries in which the government
would be a minority shareholder.
