Nigeria's Crude Oil Production Hits Record Low Amid Appointment Of Rivers i (11222 Views)

Nigeria’s crude oil production fell in March 2025, according to data released by the Nigerian Upstream Regulatory Commission.

This development follows concerns that crude oil output could be disrupted by the unrest and disapproval trailing the appointment of a sole in Rivers State, Vice iral Ibok Ete Ibas.

According to the data, daily crude oil production in March fell to 1.603 million barrels per day, from 1.671 million barrels per day in February.

This represents a drop of 68,000 barrels per day
.

Crude oil production excluding condensates stood at 1.4 million barrels per day in March, a decrease from 1.465 million barrels per day recorded in February.

This indicates that Nigeria once again failed to meet its OPEC production quota of 1.5 million barrels per day.

The March figure of 1.603 million barrels per day (including condensates) marks the lowest production level since January 2025, when production stood at 1.737 million barrels per day.

This decline in output coincides with the appointment of the sole in Nigeria’s oil-rich Rivers State.

It will be recalled that following the declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State in March, President Bola Tinubu appointed Vice iral Ibas (retd.) as the state’s sole during a ceremony at the State House in Abuja.

President Tinubu attributed the move to instability in the state and the recent sabotage of an oil pipeline.

The appointment has sparked protests from residents of the oil-rich Niger Delta region, under the umbrella group "Niger Delta Congress," who have voiced strong opposition to Ibas’s appointment.

So, 1.6million barrel per day is your own definition of a record low?, or you don't know the meaning of the word you're throwing around?. Anyways, we have lots of Illiterates roaming the internet. FYI, Ibas will complete his six months as the Sole of Rivers, all these stupid sensational headlines will not stop him.


Seems you're deficient in comprehension, calculate 68000 * 60 dollars daily for 3 months(90) only.

Crude oil theft is solely the machinations of those in government.

Quoting a naval officer, barrels of crude oil isn’t something people steal in jerrycans. They have boats, ships, clearance from authority to ship out and sell in the international black market.

Ask yourself this simple question, if a pipeline is vandalized how long would it take to fill 10,000 barrels talk more of 68,000 barrels NOT LITERS per day, and move them to a secure location without anyone noticing?

When we get it right I pray all past upstream and NNPC heads/ministers get the capital punishment and their families sentenced to life imprisonment.

I'm happy with Tilumbu's self-inflicted injuries from subsidy is gone immediately to floating the naira to undemocratic acts showing he was never a sound , never a serous (how can an ant hate statistics?), never a true democrat.

Tilumbu is a fraud
