According to her, crude oil export volume increased by 2.2 million barrels in May in spite of the brief Force Majeure declared at Qua Iboe and Bonny Terminals.

She also said that there was 109 million dollars revenue increase in federation export sales as a result of the increase in average price of crude oil from 42.2 dollars in April to 46.0 dollars per barrel in May.

Adeosun noted that there was a rise in dutiable imports which contributed significantly to the increase recorded by import duty and VAT.
