Nigeria recorded a major boost in crude oil production in April 2026, achieving 99.2 per cent of its 1.5 million barrels per day production quota approved by the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The gain came from intense surveillance of the Trans Niger Pipelines and Eastern Gas Network facilities.

Reacting to the development, Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) said the latest figures from the Nigeria Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission showed output rose by 7.58 per cent compared to March 2026 levels. PINL made the statement during its monthly stakeholders’ meeting with representatives from Imo, Abia and Rivers states in Port Harcourt.
