The Warri refinery has been shut down by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corportation (NNPC), after the gas turbine generators that supply power to the plant tripped off.

The 125,000 barrel per day refinery only resumed production in January, after its Crude Distillation Unit (CDU) was revved up and it began to refine 2million litres of kerosene and 3million litres of diesel daily.

NNPC’s chief operating officer (COO) in charge of refineries Mr. Anibor Kragha, said General Electric (GE) has been mobilized to rectify the problem.

He didn't say when the plant will come back online.
