Scrutiny over NNPCL spending in Nigeria amid political activity
What happened
NNPCL released its 2025 audited financial statement, which showed Profit After Tax rose by 33 per cent to N7.2 trillion, while revenue declined by 24 per cent to N34.5 trillion. The company reported spending N11.2 trillion on pipeline surveillance, an amount that exceeded its recorded Profit After Tax. Atiku Abubakar, the presidential candidate for the African Democratic Congress, demanded that the administration provide details on this expenditure.
