NNPC consistently delayed the remittance of sales proceeds from crude which resulted in the delay of N17.5 billion and also deducted N722.25 billion as under-recovery in 2018

The nonpayment of funds by some companies as at when due resulted in a revenue loss to the Federation and the refineries operated at only 8% of installed capacity.

Recommendation: The federal government must find ways to curb oil theft and sabotage by identifying possible international markets and destinations of stolen Nigerian crude oil, it must also address the social issues of poverty and corruption in oil communities.
