Nigerian oil minister Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu said on Thursday he saw "open-mindedness" in the OPEC meeting, but did not know what the outcome would be.
OPEC open-minded, Nigeria's output back up to 1.6M bpd
Last month, output had fallen to 1.4 million bpd due to a string of militant attacks and an accident on the ExxonMobil platform exporting Qua Iboe, the country's largest crude oil stream.

Kachikwu said Nigeria's oil production had climbed to 1.6 million barrels per day (bpd).
Despite the continued attacks by militants in the restive Niger Delta region, Kachikwu said Nigeria is targeting oil production of 2.2-2.3 million bpd for this year.
