‘Account for Missing N500bn, Invite EFCC, ICPC’, SERAP Tells NNPC

  • Between October and December 2024, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company did not deposit N500 billion into the Federation Account, according to a disclosure made by the World Bank in May 2025.
  • In 2024, NNPCL generated a total of N1.1 trillion from the sale of crude oil and additional sources, yet it officially transferred only N600 billion to the Federation Account, resulting in an unexplained shortfall of N500 billion.
  • An advocacy group focusing on socio-economic rights has formally called on CEO Bayo Ojulari to provide a detailed account of the missing funds, emphasizing violations of constitutional and anti-corruption laws, and has demanded a thorough investigation into the matter.
  • SERAP emphasized that recovering the missing N500 billion would help address Nigeria’s cost-of-living crisis by increasing spending on essential public services and fulfilling economic and social rights.
  • The group warned that failure to account for the funds undermines public trust and economic development, urging prompt action and threatening legal proceedings if NNPCL does not comply within seven days.
