Angola–Nigeria relations

The relationship between Angola and Nigeria is based mainly on the role as an oil exporter and is cooperative and robust. Both are members of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Organization, the African Union, and other multilateral organizations.

In September 2007, the Angolan government arrested Henry Oka, a spokesman for the Niger Delta Liberation Movement (MEND), the largest rebel group in Nigeria. When authorities arrested him, Okah tried to fly to Luanda Airport in South Africa. Angola and Nigeria sign the Divorce Treaty, also because Nigeria is still using the death penalty and Angola's law prohibits taking away suspects to countries that may face capital punishment There was not. President Angola Jose Eduardo dos Santos agreed to withdraw Mr. Oka on November 21, but his attorney asked the government for reconsideration. In January 2008, João Mariade Sousa Minister of Justice said the Angolan government has not yet decided whether to hand over Okah. [1] Okah was finally handed over on February 15, 2008. [2]

The amount of trade in Angola and Nigeria in 2016 was $ 2 million. Nigeria's exports to Angola were $ 4,420,000 and Angola's exports to Nigeria were $ 1.56 million. [3]

Angola's daily official oil exports are beyond that of Nigeria, although reserves and potential production in Nigeria far exceeds Angola. The reason for this advancement is not just the organizational advantage that Sonangol, a state-owned oil company, is enjoying the complex and poorly performing oil bureaucracy in Nigeria. Due to continued violence in the Delta, Nigeria 's oil exports have drastically decreased. If unknown crude oil lost due to theft (or refueling) is added to the barrel of legal export, Nigeria will continue to be the major oil exporter of Africa with a potential capacity of 3 million barrels per day (bpd) Let's see. Recent military operations against Delta 's armed militia may have succeeded in oil exports over 2 million barrels per day for decades.

Angola and Nigeria are the largest oil producers in Africa. In Nigeria, the deepwater sector still has considerable development and development paths. The Agbami oil field started full operation in 2005, and the daily volume was 250,000 barrels (40,000 cubic meters). Agbami has just one offshore franchise, which is operated by a chevron star deep and a company called Famfa; some are called Akpo, Bonga and Erha. The oil extraction from Nigeria is expected to increase from 15,000 barrels per day (2,400 cubic meters per day) in 2003 to 1.67 million barrels per day (202,000 cubic meters per day) in 2010. Oil deep-sea drilling is especially appealing to oil companies, as the Nigerian government accounts for a small percentage of these activities and the government is more difficult to regulate company offshore activities.
