In January, oil prices gained 8% following agreement among OPEC members to pump oil into the market. The pact among crude oil producing nations have proven vital to oil price recovery as disagreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia in Q1 2020 had pushed crude oil price down to $35 per barrel.<\/p>\n

Restriction on movements caused by measures to curb spread of COVID-19 had dampened oil demand, coupled with the price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia, oil price crashed to as low as $19.33 in April 2020.<\/p>\n

But following an agreement between the two global oil leaders in the same month, oil price began to recover \u2013 oil prices was also propelled by reopening of global economies following a long lockdown caused by the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Since December, crude has been trading above $50, at last check, 8:00 am on Tuesday by Ripples Nigeria, crude oil sold for $56.93, a 1.03% increase above previous day trade of $56.88. In May, OPEC members are expected to cut output again.<\/p>\n

The uptick in the oil price positions President Muhammadu Buhari\u2019s administration to assume its revenue projection. The realisation of the government\u2019s budget is based on crude selling above $40 per barrel \u2013 which is the 2021 budget benchmark \u2013 but tied to production of 1.86 million barrels per day.<\/p>\n

With crude selling above $50, the government could balance its budget and achieve its N6.6 trillion revenue projection this year. However, N3.1 trillion of the revenue will be spent to service debt in 2021, as FG\u2019s projected debt service to revenue ratio is 46.9%.<\/p>\n

Currently, Nigeria\u2019s External and Domestic debt is placed at N32.22 trillion as of September 2020.<\/p>\n
