Nigeria says unrest keeps it short of OPEC quota
PORT OF SPAIN, May 11 (Reuters) - Persisting unrest and violence in Nigeria's Niger Delta is preventing the African oil producer from meeting its OPEC output quota, a senior Nigerian oil ministry official said on Monday.
"The problem is with the Niger Delta location. We have not been able to meet OPEC obligations," Femi Olayisade, Permanent Secretary in Nigeria's Ministry of Petroleum Resources, told Reuters on the sidelines of an oil conference in Trinidad and Tobago.
