NNPC owes debt of over $3 billion to fuel traders
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) finds itself in a challenging financial situation, owing an estimated $3 billion to fuel traders for imported petrol.

This fiscal challenge emerges in the wake of a recent surge in fuel prices, spurred by the removal of fuel subsidies—a decision championed by President Bola Tinubu to fortify the nation’s energy security.

Contrary to expectations that NNPC, as Nigeria’s principal petrol importer, would promptly settle its import bills, especially amid the current price hikes, the reality paints a starkly different picture.

Allegations surface indicating that the corporation struggles with payment obligations due to the persistent depreciation of the naira and the escalating global fuel prices.

NNPC owes debt of over $3 billion to fuel traders

Sources cited by Reuters reveal a sluggish payment process at NNPC, with payments taking more than 130 days instead of the standard 90 days.

However, Femi Sonoye, NNPC’s spokesperson, refutes any knowledge of such substantial debt or financial hurdles, underscoring the corporation’s unwavering commitment to ensuring petroleum product sufficiency in Nigeria.

Despite these financial strains, NNPC’s suppliers, comprising international traders such as Vitol, Mercuria, Gunvor, and local trading houses, continue to fulfill fuel supply obligations to meet the country’s demand.

The discrepancy between the report’s assertions and NNPC’s official stance underscores a divergence in perspectives or truths regarding the corporation’s debt situation. The resolution of this discrepancy remains uncertain, leaving observers to anticipate the next course of action.
