The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) says Nigeria’s average daily crude oil production increased to 1.3 million barrels per day (bpd) in July.
According to OPEC, the current output figure represents a 2.36 percent rise from the 1.27 million bpd recorded in June.
Consequently, the current production figure means that Nigeria retained its position as the biggest oil producer in Africa,
surpassing Angola, which produced 909 thousand bpd in July, according to the oil alliance.
OPEC said Congo was the third-largest oil producer in Africa in July, producing 257 thousand barrels per day.
