Nigeria Seeks to Boost Oil Output as OPEC+ Maintains Production Levels

OPEC+ maintains oil production levels for seven major producers, including Saudi Arabia and Russia, as Nigeria seeks to boost crude output and revenue.

The group reaffirmed its commitment to production discipline at a virtual meeting on September 6, 2026, and scheduled a follow-up meeting for October 4.

Nigeria is not among the seven countries covered by the latest voluntary adjustment but remains part of the wider OPEC+ framework.

The country aims to maximise its allocation and attract investment despite challenges such as theft, vandalism, and aging infrastructure.
