“The first consignment has come — it’s 950,000 barrels from Nigeria — it came around 5 pm yesterday,” Albert Pinto, chairman of the workers union told Reuters.
The TOR plant has a capacity to process of 45,000 barrels per day.
Ghana’s President John Atta Mills also struck a deal with Nigeria for the supply of 60,000 barrels per day.
The new crude consignment stemmed from arrangements under the Ecobank transaction and the oil came from the open Nigeria’s supply market. But the supplies from the government-to-government deal would follow later, said Pinto
