The Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative says outstanding revenues due to the federal government in the oil and gas industry rose to $6.071 billion and N66.4 billion, respectively, as of June 2024.
Also, NEITI said N15.87 trillion was claimed as under-recovery or price differentials between 2006 and 2023, with the highest amount, N4.71 trillion, recorded in 2022. “On oil theft and crude losses, a total of 7.68 million barrels of crude were either stolen or lost in 2023, representing a significant drop of 79% compared to 36.69 million barrels either stolen or lost in 2022,” the report said.“On overall revenue generation in the oil and gas industry, the report showed that material companies accounted for US$15.549 billion and non-material companies for US$695.604 million in revenues generated in 2022.
“We consider the EITI not only as a global standard for promoting transparency in the management of revenues from natural resources but also as a tool to strengthen public trust, accountability, and economic growth,” Akume said.He assured that the government will thoroughly study the report to ensure effective implementation.
