Event Summary

Nigeria's crude oil production has significantly rebounded from a low of 960,000 barrels per day in 2022 to an average of 1.71 million barrels per day, peaking at 1.84 million barrels per day in 2025. This resurgence is attributed to an integrated energy security model implemented in the Nigeria===Niger Delta, which effectively tackled oil theft and pipeline vandalism. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, GCEO of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation===Nigerian National Petroleum Company, disclosed this at a parliamentary roundtable. The model combines legislative and executive policy alignment, intelligence, kinetic deployment, regulatory oversight, industry cooperation, and community surveillance. This success has restored investor confidence in Nigeria's oil and gas sector, with calls from figures like Godswill Akpabio and Tajudeen Abbas for sustained collaboration to address remaining challenges.
