Nigeria has agreed a one-month ceasefire with militants
including the Niger Delta Avengers in the oil-producing southern region, a
petroleum ministry official said on Tuesday.
Militant groups including the Avengers, who have claimed
responsibility for a string of attacks on oil and gas facilities in recent
weeks, could not immediately be reached for comment, Reuters reprts.
They say they want a greater share of Nigeria's oil wealth
to go to the impoverished Delta region. Crude sales make up about 70 percent of
national income and the vast majority of that oil comes from the southern
swampland.
The latest attacks have pushed production to a 30-year low.
