NNPC: I've Accepted Assets, Liability, Refinery Will Work - Tinubu Assures

Tinubu said he accepted inherited oil-sector liabilities and promised the refineries will return to work, while stressing profitability over mere operation.

  • On Tuesday, President Bola Tinubu signed the Deep Offshore Oil and Gas Projects Incentives Order, 2026, establishing a fiscal framework expected to unlock up to $50 billion in deep offshore investments.
  • This policy aims to make previously stalled offshore projects commercially viable, beginning with the approximately $10 billion Bonga South West project, by providing tax incentives and fiscal clarity.
  • Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited Group Chief Executive Officer Bashir Bayo Ojulari described the order as a transformative reform supporting Nigeria's ambition of increasing crude oil production to 3 million barrels per day by 2030.
  • The order aims to accelerate Final Investment Decisions on strategic developments including Zabazaba and Owowo Deep Offshore projects, reinforcing Nigeria's competitive energy environment.
  • Recent reforms across Nigeria's petroleum sector have already stimulated more than $34 billion in new investment commitments, and this measure reinforces NNPC's strategy of protecting existing production while attracting new high-value assets.
