Nigeria: Militants Give Condition for Oil Production

Militants operating in the creeks of the Niger Delta yesterday vowed that resumption of production of over 600,000 barrels per day (bpd) crude oil closed down in the wake of the crises in the region would not be allowed to resume until the Federal Government meets their 10-point demands.

This is coming on a day when President Olusegun Obasanjo expressed happiness over the safe release of the remaining three hostages taken captive by militants emphasizing he need for dialogue rather than violence.
