The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, have further extended the exemption granted Nigeria and Libya over the output cut imposed on member countries in January 2017.

The Joint OPEC-Non-OPEC Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) stated that based on the Report of the Joint OPEC-Non-OPEC Technical Committee (JTC) extended the exemption granted Nigeria and Libya over the output cut imposed on member countries in January 2017.

Nigeria’s Minister of State For Petroleum Resources, Dr Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, told the meeting that although the country’s production recovery efforts have made some appreciable progress since October last year, it is not yet out of the woods.

Dr kachikwu explained that Nigeria will be prepared to limit its crude production when the output stabilises at 1.8 million barrels per day.
