He cited that compliance needed to happen over a period of time.
Mele Kyari disclosed this in an interview with Channels TV on Monday evening. He stated that before the COVID-19 pandemic, Nigeria had reached its highest output in ten years, which was cut short by the effect of the pandemic on the market.
“…
precisely last year, our production reached 2.4 million BPD, that did not happen in ten years, that means you also have to face what covid has put on the table, so you have to cut down production.”
