Nigeria’s earnings from crude oil plunged by about N75.9bn in February and March this year despite the increase in global oil prices for the third consecutive month in March 2022.

The latest data from the April 2022 Monthly Oil Market Report of the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries showed that while oil prices had been on the increase since January this year, Nigeria’s production had been on the decrease.

However, despite the rise in global crude oil prices, Nigeria’s earnings from the sale of the commodity had been dropping due to the monthly plunge in its oil production. The country’s crude oil production crashed further by 744,000 barrels in March 2022 when compared to what the country produced in the preceding month of February.

The average prices of Brent crude, the global benchmark for oil, in February and March 2022 were $97.13/barrel and $117.25/barrel, according to data from the global statistical firm, Statistica.
