The economy slid into recession for the first time in 25 years in the second quarter, when a slump in crude prices contributed to a 2.06 % contraction. Crude sales make up two-thirds of government revenue. Nigeria's economy could expand by 2.5 % next year -- as long as it can produce 2.2m barrels a day -- the level at which the government made its budget calculations. The non-oil sector grew by 0.03 % in real terms in the third quarter.
