Nigeria is considered one of the biggest oil production players in Africa. Nigerian Government is largely dependent on the Crude Oil Market.

For the previous few years with dropping of Crude Oil prices due to wars in Syria and Ukraine, Nigeria experienced problems with revenues from the main export product. Moreover, inner problems, like terrorist attacks of Niger Delta Avengers provided a shortage of crude oil in Nigeria. Still, the country reconquers its position on the Global market. Top oil producing states increased the scale of crude oil production in 2017. Crude Oil in Nigeria - Reclaiming positions According to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Nigeria has showed a significant increase of oil production. With the help of oil producing states, Nigeria managed to rich the scales of 1.782 million barrel per day.

Therefore, Nigeria managed to overrun its closest competitor Angola, which produces 1.692 million barrel per day. For September 2016, Nigeria showed results of 1.5 million barrel per day; this situation had already continued for seven months. Only in November, Nigeria managed to produce the same amount of crude oil per day as Angola did. December 2016 Monthly Oil Market Report showed that the list of crude oil producing states in Nigeria managed to provide a significant advantage over Angola. Moreover, Angola cut its output for 78 000 barrel in December.

Therefore, it only produced 1.688 million barrel, which provided Nigeria`s advantage of 94 000 barrels. Top 10 oil producing states

madam Igbo.go and read your book

9 oil producing
states in Nigeria according to the quantity of oil
produced in barrels.
1. Akwa Ibom – 504,000 barrels per day (1st)
2. Delta – 346,000 bpd (2nd)
3. Rivers – 344,000 bpd (3rd)
4. Bayelsa – 290,000 bpd (4th)
5. Ondo – 60,000 bpd (5th)
6. Lagos – 40,000 bpd (6th)
7. Edo – 33,000 bpd (7th)
8. Imo – 17, 000 bpd (8th)
9. Abia – 11,000 bpd (9th)
Note: i. Akwa Ibom, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa,
produces 90.1% of Nigeria’s total crude oil.
ii. Oil wells in Cross River were ceded to Akwa
Ibom after Cameroon took over Bakassi.
as you can see summation of imo and abia is not up to half of what Ondo is producing

In fact this subject is not even a subject for debate, the whole Nigeria knows Ondo is part of the NDDC so I wonder where these useless OP got his own information from. FAAC, NNPC have released reports.
