Nigeria’s oil sector is facing fresh pressure after protesters shut down 13 oil flow stations in Delta State, threatening up to 400,000 barrels of daily crude production.
According to PREMIUM TIMES, the demonstrators—mainly women and youths from communities in the Warri Federal Constituency—are demanding the implementation of a disputed ward delineation report by the Independent National Electoral Commission.
The affected facilities, operated by Renaissance Africa Energy, Chevron Nigeria and Nestoil/Neconde, are said to account for a significant share of the country’s oil output.
Protesters blocked access to the facilities and disrupted logistics operations, insisting that oil production would remain halted until authorities implement the delineation report.
The development raises concerns over potential revenue losses, export disruptions and heightened political tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections.
