Nat. Assembly to consider transit of Nigerian crude oil through Chad pipeline

Cameroon National Assembly last weekend looked at a bill authorizing the President of the Republic to ratify a bilateral agreement dated October 30, 2013 on the transit of the Nigerian crude oil through the pipeline from Chad to join the Cameroon coast of Kribi, APA learns.

The National Hydrocarbons Corporation (SNH) of Cameroon, which revealed the negotiations since last year, however, has never revealed the financial implications for transit rights.

Before that, we learn, Niger and Chad signed another agreement for the construction of a 600 km pipeline, which will join the Chad-Cameroon pipeline for the discharge of oil.
