Nigeria’s crude oil production exceeded the 1.5 million barrels per day (bpd) quota set by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in June 2025, marking a major milestone in the country’s energy sector.

This achievement is seen as a direct outcome of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s decisive economic and security reforms, which have restored investor confidence, curbed oil theft, and revitalized operations in the Niger Delta.

Analysts have praised the Tinubu administration for stabilizing the oil sector and unlocking fresh revenue streams vital for national development.
