ANGLO-DUTCH oil giant Shell will soon resume operations at its flow stations in Nigeria’s Niger Delta region, company officials said on Tuesday. Shell shut down the Odidi flow stations in October last year following threats of disruption by rampaging youths demanding compensation for oil spills and environmental pollution. The closure cost Shell around 200_,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The official said production “will start very soon,” without elaborating. He said the host communities had agreed that the company can resume operations at the stations following the intervention of Delta State Governor James Obori.
