Statutory remittance of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) to the federal government slipped marginally to N11.14 trillion between January to September of 2026, down from N11.15 trillion in the corresponding period of a year ago.\n<\/p>\n

BusinessDay analysis of the company\u2019s monthly report summary shows that statutory remittance from January to September of this year is only slightly lower than its value remitted to the Nigerian government within the same period of a year ago.\n<\/p>\n

Total revenue continued the winning streak, posing an 8 percent rise to N4.61 trillion between January to September 2026, up from N4.27 in the same period of 2025.\n<\/p>\n

Similarly, production of natural gas also increased. Findings show that Nigeria\u2019s natural gas production grew from 6.23 million standard cubic feet per day a year ago to 7.79 million standard cubic feet per day.<\/p>\n

Additionally, petrol availability across NNPC\u2019s retail filling stations in the country fell to 54 percent within the review period, down from an average of 77 percent availability last year. Upstream availability also performed better in 2026, reaching an optimal level of 100 percent within nine months of 2026, from about 96 percent a year ago.\n<\/p>\n

Some of NNPC\u2019s strategic efforts include, sustenance of production growth through accelerated restoration of shut-in wells and facilities, production optimisation and well interventions.<\/p>\n

Others are: \u201cStrengthen facility reliability and preventive maintenance, address subsurface and flowline integrity issues, enhance community engagement, and resolve storage, tank-top, and export infrastructure constraints to minimise deferments and sustain production gains.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
