NNPCL Faces Senate Scrutiny Over N107 Trillion Receivables
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) is embroiled in controversy regarding its financial records, specifically N107 trillion in receivables and N103 trillion in payables for the 2023 financial year. This situation has prompted a Senate investigation and a lawsuit from the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), which seeks to compel NNPCL to provide detailed explanations, supporting documents, and reconciliations of these figures.
The Senate Public Accounts Committee has demanded that NNPCL substantiate these amounts with detailed schedules showing their origins and counterparties. NNPCL's total assets reportedly surged to N246.82 trillion in 2023, a 322 percent increase from N58.49 trillion in 2022.
Other receivables alone rose dramatically from N740.8 billion in 2022 to N108.44 trillion in 2023. Despite reporting a profit after tax of N3.297 trillion for 2023, questions regarding the transparency and quality of NNPCL's financial disclosures remain unresolved.
