Oil prices fell about two per cent to a 12-week low this week amid reports that OPEC+ will proceed with a planned oil output increase in April.
Brent futures fell $1.19, or 1.6 per cent, to settle at $71.62 a barrel, while the United States West Texas Intermediate crude fell $1.39, or two per cent, to settle at $68.37.
Those were the lowest closes for Brent since December 6 and WTI since December 9.
It was reported that the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies like Russia, known as OPEC+, decided to proceed with a planned April oil output increase.
The Naira appreciated N1,512 per dollar in the parallel market on Wednesday, compared to N1,515 per dollar on Tuesday.
