Key Takeaways
Nigeria’s export value trends from 1990 to 2023 largely reflect its dependence on crude oil. In 1990, exports stood at $13.6 billion, declining during the early 1990s due to political instability and fluctuating oil prices. By 2008, exports surged to $86.3 billion, driven by a commodity price boom.

The oil price crash in 2014 and the 2016 recession led to a steep decline, with exports falling to $33.3 billion. Recovery followed as global oil prices stabilized, with 2022 exports reaching $63.1 billion. Despite efforts to diversify, Nigeria’s export performance remains vulnerable to oil market dynamics, underscoring the need for broader economic reforms.
