With the 2011 trend & unwillingness to prosecute the criminals, Presidency Nigeria woke up on Jan 1, 2012 to announce subsidy removal. #OccupyNigeria started.😑 Fast forward 12 years. Subsidy is supposedly removed but numbers don't lie. What happens next?🤔

Please go to the websites of NEITI, CBN, NBS, NNPCL and others and download the different reports in PDF and Excel, locate the appropriate pages and extract the data for the 18 years yourself. Also, look for wherever you can get agencies reports to FAAC. Thanks for your interest

Here you said you have checked NNPCL's financial statements and you didn't see anything close to what we posted. We asked you to share what you saw, you chose insinuations. Okay check note 24.2.3 on page 80 of the AFS and tell us the difference with the N5.10t figure for 2023.

If you are really interested, the note and page number for data for 2023 has been shared with you. If you didn't it see before, now you know where to look. For Jan to July 2024 NNPC reports to FAAC. Have a nice day.

Under-recovery was the code name for subsidy under the previous administration. Post-May 2023, it is disguised in other ways such as 'energy security expense' 'shortfall' and 'PMS Fx differential'. Subsidy was gone in June and July 2023. It returned from August.

🚨Oil price tracking below benchmark price If current pattern holds, the monthly average price of crude oil likely to be below 2024 budget benchmark, a situation last seen at the height of the pandemic in 2020. This should impact oil revenue, fx flows, petrol price, subsidy etc
