NNPC audit reveals double payment of subsidy on petrol & kerosene, spent N3.65trn without approval

The just released audit report by PricewaterHouse Coopers PWC on the financial management of the NNPC has revealed that there were many cases of duplicated subsidy payment by the NNPC to many oil marketers between 2012 and 2013.

According to the report, payment of subsidies for petrol (PMS) and kerosene (DPK) between January 2012 and July 2013 when investigated had a difference of $980 million (about N195 billion) due to duplicated payments.
“Our review of the subsidy documentation revealed that the subsidy due to NNPC between January 2012 and July 2013 on PMS and DPK import was $8.99billion compared to the $9.97 billion stated by the Reconciliation Committee.
The difference was due to the following: Exclusion of October 2011-December 2011 subsidy claims of $1.2billion. This does not relate to the review period of January 2012 to July 2013; $0.13billion increase in PMS subsidy claimed for the 19 months period, $0.09billion increase in DPK subsidy claimed for the 19 months period; duplicated discharges noted in subsidy computations Our examination of the PMS and DPK import verified by PPPRA revealed that some discharges were apparently verified and subsidy advised to NNPC more than once,” the report stated.

According to Leadership, the report showed NNPC spent $18.53billion (or N3.65 trillion) as operational costs without a duly approved budgetary allocation. The report also indicated that the total gross revenues generated from the federal government crude oil lifting between January 1, 2012 and July 31, 2013 was $69.34 billion and not $67 billion as earlier stated by the federal government’s Reconciliation Committee.

The report also stated it was unable to verify the exact unremitted revenues accruing to the Federation Accounts as it did not have access to NPDC’s full account. The Nigerian Petroleum Development Company is a subsidiary of the NNPC. “We did not have access to NPDC’s full accounts and records and we have not ascertained the amount of costs and expenses which should be applied to the US$5.11billion Crude Oil revenue (net of royalties and PPT paid) per the NPDC submission to the Senate Committee which should be considered as dividend payment by NPDC to NNPC for ultimate remittance to the Federation Account.

Between 12 January and 29 January 2015, NNPC provided transaction documents representing additional costs of $2.81 billion related to the review period, citing the NNPC Act LFN No 33 of 1977 that allows such deductions. Clarity is required on whether such deductions should be made by NNPC as a first-line charge before remitting the net proceeds of domestic crude to the Federation Accounts. If these are deemed not to be valid deductions, then the amount due from NNPC would be estimated at $2.07 billion (without considering expected known remittances from NPDC) or $4.29 billion (if expected known remittances from NPDC are considered).”

The forensic audit became necessary following a letter in September 2013 by the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, to President Goodluck Jonathan stating that from January 2012 to July 2013, NNPC lifted $65 billion worth of crude on behalf of the federal government but remitted only $15.2 billion into the Federation Accounts, with $49.8 billion as outstanding to the federal government. On December 13, 2013, the NNPC responded that no money was missing.

A Reconciliation Committee comprising representatives of the CBN, NNPC, Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), Office of the Accountant General (OAGF), the Budget Office of the Federation, Federal Ministry of Finance and the Federal Ministry of Petroleum Resources was set up On December 18, 2013, the Reconciliation Committee, in its report, estimated the unremitted funds at $10.8 billion while the CBN said it was $12 billion.

The CBN on February 4, 2014 informed the Senate Committee on Finance that the NNPC needed to account for $20 billion as the CBN could only confirm receipt of $47 billion of $67 billion revenue. On February 13, 2014, the NNPC provided explanations of the $20 billion shortfall while the finance minister and coordinating minister for the economy recommended an independent forensic audit. On June 5, 2014, PwC was appointed by the office of the Auditor General of the Federation (OAuGF) to conduct a forensic audit into the allegations

We are finished in this country! They call billion and trillion as if is few thousand naira. 3.65trillion naira paid without approval, what a wicked world. Nigeria populace is estimated to be 170million, if that money is shared like 10million each Nigerian the balance will still be billions of naira. Just imagine that we who are working in one of the Refinery outfit towards the south south have not been paid salaries for the past eight (8) months, what a wicked world! God's wrath must not depart from some people in this country for this economic enslavement they have caused us...

So,those shouting hate words at Sanusi,where are you?

This report was ready and handed over to Mr president in a televised ceremony before the elections.yet it wasn't made public.

I reiterate,Mr president might be a really great guy but he chose to surround himself with armed robbers.

If he knew all that was going on yet failed to act,then he's equally culpable.however if he was so innocent and naive that he didn't have a clue of what was going on,he's still culpable for being so out of touch with governance that he's not meant to be a leader.

Leadership isn't about how nice,media and nollywood friendly you are.There are decisions that you must take in the best interest of the people you have been charged to govern even if that decision makes you unpopular.People are averse to discipline and truth,

In this regard,the amiable Mr president failed woefully.He remains a nice,humble and good man but a great leader?NO.

I told you all to relax.the truth is gradually coming out.Mr president will walk as long as he doesn't try to shield the thieves.poor Nigerians and the incoming government.the treasury is EMPTY!!

Round 1!

Sanusi, may have been a little off track with his figures, but this report proves that he was unnecessarily vilified for pointing out the abnormalities.

The aspect i find interesting as well as suspicious is "The report also stated it was unable to verify the exact unremitted revenues accruing to the Federation Accounts as it did not have access to NPDC’s full account" if NPDC is a subsidiary of the NNPC den y shouldnt PWC have access to dat account wen its mandated to audit NNPC... something is certainly fishing in there... More to come to light after May 29.

Yes darling he was. And when the house committee chairman on petroleum resources (downstream) called for an investigative hearing on kerosene subsidy the NNPC accused him of running an APC agenda! He went ahead with his investigation and discovered all these anomalies, he put together his report, but as usual nothing was done about it and it was swept under the rug!

Greed is a great problem and mostly common in underdeveloped countries. I feel sorry for man on this because when life terminates, we go beyond with nothing - all is vanity. Generations to come may not have access to this illgotten wealth and may face the consequences of it. Why then do we corrupt ourselves to acquire & acquire & keep on acquiring at the detriment of others?

Stop this nonsense.....Jonathan is absolutely not a good person talkless of great. He knew and knows what he's doing. Once might be called a mistake, twice a coincidence, but thru his uncountable corrupt, immoral, vindictive, divisive, and vile actions it's obvious beyond a reasonable doubt that jonathans NEVER meant well for nigeria. He was just there to milk the country dry for himself and his wickedly corrupt cronies.

They had hoped they would win so it would have been swept under the carpet like other reports.

His hands are tied.that's why he asked them to release it.now its every man or woman for himself or herself.he has just served up his minister for petroleum to save himself.

Nothing to give him kudos for.

NNPC alone spends $20bn from a total inflow of $90bn as operational costs. This amt N3,6 trillion, is almost d same amt as d Fed budget of 2015 which is N4,4tr.

To put it into context, NNPC does not drill oil, it's just an administrative office..Na only paper and biro work dem dey do. So how does operational costs rise up to N3.6trn?

Ignorant people like you are those that see evil in this country and look the other way. Did you ever ask yourself if things continue like this, what will life for your kids be like?
This audit was ordered by GEJ to clear his name so no this is not some APC propaganda, not make believe either, this is true story!
This is happening to us and becos of some stupid tribalism we let thieves rob our nation dry, time to wake up becos your letting your sweat and your generations benefits go to waste. Tomorrow Mrs Madueke's kids will be rolling in Bentleys, yet we can't give or children decent food not to talk of education. Theg live the life of the rich and famous all over the world yet the average Nigerian sees electricity 3 times a week.
Smh at stupid people in this country! I wish I can see you in person, so I can slap some sense into you, ode!
