The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries has described Nigeria as the most admired member country in the global oil market.
The Secretary General of the Organisation, Dr. Mohammad Barkindo, disclosed this in his congratulatory message released on Monday to mark the 50th anniversary of Nigeria’s membership of OPEC.
“Nigeria is consistently regarded as one of the most admired and respected member of the OPEC family, particularly in the realm of consensus-building.
“Many giants of Nigerian public service have been responsible for this successful relationship.
“ Today is an important opportunity to reflect on their legacy and give thanks for the ways in which they have moulded our organisation.
“I firmly believe that the partnership between OPEC and Nigeria can continue to flourish over the next 50 years.
