Nigeria's crude oil production, excluding condensate, rose by 35,000 barrels per day to 1.573 million bpd in August 2026 from 1.537 million bpd in July, according to the latest data from the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries. The increase represents a 2.3 per cent month-on-month growth, placing Nigeria among OPEC members that recorded higher production during the month. OPEC said the August output was Nigeria's highest monthly production level in the data provided for 2026 and exceeded the country's average production of 1.552 million bpd in the second quarter of 2026. The development comes amid renewed efforts by the Federal Government and oil producers to boost production through improved security, fresh upstream investments and new projects.
