ABUJA, July 9 (Reuters) - Nigeria's excess crude account
held $72.41 million as of July 7, the country's finance minister
said on Thursday.
Zainab Ahmed gave the figure during a meeting of the
country's National Economic Council. The oil savings account,
which holds dollar reserves from sales of crude above the
assumed benchmark price, contained $324.54 million as of Nov. 20
last year.
