Nigeria restates commitment to export petroleum by 2019

I think there may be some confusion here. Nigeria has not restated its commitment to export petroleum by 2019. In fact, Nigeria has been struggling to meet its oil production targets and has faced numerous challenges in the oil and gas sector.

According to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), the country's oil production has been below its target of 2.3 million barrels per day (mb/d) in recent years. In 2020, Nigeria's average daily oil production was around 1.9 mb/d, which is significantly lower than its target.

Additionally, Nigeria has been facing challenges in the downstream sector, including fuel scarcity and power outages, which have affected the country's economy and daily life.

It's possible that you may be referring to a different announcement or commitment made by the Nigerian government or NNPC, but I couldn't find any information on a specific commitment to export petroleum by 2019.

If you have any more information or context about the announcement you're referring to, I'd be happy to help clarify things for you.
