it is interesting to know that per per-barrel price has increased from $75 in December 2023 to a precedent-high of $86 as of today. Although oil prices fluctuate due to global reasons but this increase reflects government expectations for positive impact for the economy and achievement of CAPEX(capital expenditures) due to the increase in revenue from the oil proceeds.
https://punchng.com/oil-earnings-rise-by-n450bn-in-two-months-says-fg/?ampThis is not the first time we've had such increase, from 2011-2014 there was an upsurge in the price of crude oil, then one barrel was selling for about $100. the federal government then under the leadership of president Goodluck Jonathan had to create excess crude account in other to save some money for the raining days ahead, but some governors disagreed with the president and shared the money that was kept in the excess crude account. So this is not the first time we are having such increase in the market price of crude oil.
The whole thing is that, this increases should reflect in the economy and not on newspaper's, because that has always been the routine.
