Angola surpasses Nigeria as Africa top oil producer in April
AllAfrica: President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua has expressed displeasure with the recent leapfrogging of Nigeria by Angola which assumed Nigeria’s position as number one oil producing nation in Africa, a position Nigeria has maintained since 19978.
A senior official in the presidency told LEADERSHIP recently that the presidency is highly disturbed by the development, saying that “it is unfortunate that Angola a new entrant into the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has over taken the country in crude oil production as a result of avoidable circumstances”. [anything surprising about sambo Yar'Adua being upset? he is now considering having the Delta folks guard the pipelines for crumbs but that's not going to fly either. if the people of the Delta can't benefit from the oil, no one will]
