so how will nigeria meet its obligations? it is under huge pressure to find money.ng about borrowing, but what would be easier if opec came up with another strategy that would help to bolster the price of oil, and this also puts the president who came to power last year under immense pressure to fulfill one of his campaign promises which was basically to diversify nigeria's economy away from oil. many governments have said we need to cut our independence on oil. the price is not stable. it's not reliable, we can't depend on oil as much as we do. we have to invest in other sectors of the country. and with the falling price of oil being what it is, the government is under immense pressure to do everything it can to steer the country's economy away from its independence on oil, whilst at the same time trying to use its influence within opec to get the organization to rethink, to restrategize, in a way that would boost the price of oil. >> thank you very much. >>> thousands of junior doctors in england have gone on strike over the dispute over a new contract. it has lea

one of those countries nigeria. our correspondent joins us now from the capitol, abuja. of all this is the minister of state who manages the day-to-day functioning of this crucial ministry for nigeria addressing the meeting in the gulf. >> reporter: that's right. it was during this meeting, martine, that he said perhaps opec needed to re - re -- restrategize its approach. so far opec countries which produce around 21.5 million barrels of oil every single day have decided not to cut production as a strategy to try to bolster the price of oil. this is clearly having a devastating impact on the economies of opec that rely very heavily on the state of oil, countries like nigeria, algeria, and venezuela, and it appears there is some growing divide between those countries and countries like saudi arabia, which basically controls the lion's share of the oil, produce the lion's share of the oil that comes from opec countries. shortly after those remarks, it is apparently that the oil minister for the uae dismissed what he said, and said there wouldn't be any artificial interfere

said there was perhaps a need of an urgent meeting of opec producing countries like nigeria and he saidded to be perhaps a rethink, a strategy rethink, a policy rethink given the plummeting price of oil. now despite the falling twice of oil opec has not cut production because the saudis who makeup the lion's share of the oil produced don't want to cut production as a mechanism and try an increase the price and hitting hard like nigeria and algeria and venezuela who rely almost exclusively on income for the production of oil. what the minister has basically been saying is that several countries have spoken to him privately, he is currently on nigeria and currently holding the presidency of opec and want an urgent meeting prior to the scheduled june meeting and hoping to have a meeting in may and what is prompting this particularly from the nigerian, nick, as you just said there is an introduction and this count interest i relies almost exclusively on the sale of income and the country just put together the annual budget that came to $301 billion and they benched mark the price of oil aro

nigeria is in particular troubled as it were simply because it relies so heavily on sale of oil for itsore than 80% of the government's budget is made up from oil sales and recently the country put together the budget and found that it benchmarked oil at around 38 a barrel and now we are reporting overseas it's much lower than that and looking at around 31 so the question is arising here how will nigeria meet its budget requirements for the coming year. there are reports emerging that the minister for petroleum and oil in the uae is dismissing some comments by the nigerian minister saying that opec won't do anything artificial but what nigeria's oil minister is basically calling for is perhaps a rethink of the strategy. so far opec produces around 31.5 million barrels of oil every single day and even with the plummeting price of oil for one reason or another the organization has decided not to cut production to try and bolster the price of oil and that is understood by saudi arabia the biggest oil producing country within opec and nigeria and algeria and venezuela who rely on oil say we

government is to big in nigeria, the competitiveness. they have the influence of legislature. >> let me ask you - i understand what you are saying. we are seeing oil prices low right now. in the last few days the oil company had to shut down two refineries, what impact is that having on production. you will notice that globally the prices of crude oil is going down, and nigeria is looking at generating for the first time in the last 16 years. that means we are looking at generating low and high income. as a matter of fact. the power, the municipal powerhousing - municipal powerhousing, and the ministry says that nigeria is losing about 400 million nira to shot down the two refineries. less and less income because of the activity. and if i propose the solution, it should be that it is not enough for money. we must give them brain infrastructure going forward. >> thank you for talking to us. economist joining us from abuja. thanks for your time. sting ahead in sport - a warning from australia olympics chief saying zika virus causes concern
