Brent crude futures, the international benchmark for oil, were at 54.52 dollars per barrel, up 35 cents, or 0.65 percent, from their last close.
U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were up 33 cents, or 0.65 per cent, at 51.35 dollars a barrel.
Both benchmarks on Wednesday hit their highest levels since March 8.
President Buhari, had last December presented the 2017 appropriation bill to a joint session of the National Assembly with 42.5 dollar per barrel.
This is a significant improvement after the OPEC and Non OPEC oil deal and a hope for the 2017 budget of growth and recovery of President Muhammadu Buhari.
