Oil has historically been a major contributor to Nigeria's GDP. In 2019, oil accounted for 9% of Nigeria's GDP. However, the contribution of oil to GDP has been declining in recent years, due to a number of factors, including the global decline in oil prices and the rise of other sectors of the Nigerian economy, such as agriculture and manufacturing.

Yes, oil was once over 90% of exports. In 2005, oil accounted for 92% of Nigeria's exports. However, the contribution of oil to exports has also been declining in recent years, due to the factors mentioned above. In 2019, oil accounted for 65% of Nigeria's exports.

The decline in the contribution of oil to GDP and exports is a cause for concern for the Nigerian economy. Oil is a major source of government revenue and foreign exchange earnings. The decline in oil revenue has led to a decline in government spending, which has had a negative impact on economic growth. The decline in oil exports has also led to a decline in the value of the Nigerian naira, which has made it more expensive for Nigerians to import goods and services.

The Nigerian government is taking steps to diversify the economy and reduce its reliance on oil. However, it will take time for these efforts to bear fruit. In the meantime, the Nigerian economy is likely to continue to be vulnerable to fluctuations in the global oil market.
