Why the decline in oil export earnings


Earnings from crude oil and gas exports were wiped out by the 19 epidemics that swept the oil market in 2020. Epidemics have forced governments around the world to block borders near migration and trade.


The move by Covid 19 has reduced global oil demand, causing oil prices to fall by 20 sh in the second quarter of last year, hurting Nigerian oil revenues as its exports Markets also closed shops.


The US Energy Information Administration had said that oil-exporting countries, including Nigeria, would lose their revenues. The US agency said revenue would be at an 18-year low.


According to the US projection, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) estimated that its oil exports would fall from 595 billion in 2019 to 32 323 billion in 2019. Lower crude oil prices and lower exports have led to the expected decline in export earnings. "

Autocheck was created by Etop Ekpe, the founder and former CEO of Cars 45. His expulsion from the company raised questions of possible recurrence between IKP and its majority shareholder, OLAS.


Ganguly said the change in ownership of the company led to the dismissal of employees. He said that the establishment of AutoCheck was also good for the digital auto market as only 45 cars work.
