Oil attacks in Nigeria's south hit power, water supply

Renewed attacks by militants in the Niger delta region have caused oil output to be cut to 1.4 million barrels per day, down from a budgeted 2.2 million bpd this year

Lagos - Militant attacks in Nigeria's oil-producing south have caused water supplies to be turned off in the country's commercial hub and biggest city, Lagos, the state government said on Tuesday.

The Lagos state ministry of information said in a statement that disruption to public supplies has been caused by "shortage of gas" in pumping stations due to attacks on oil and gas pipelines.
