During the review of the Auditor-General’s Annual Report on the Consolidated Financial Statement for the year ended December 31, 2021, and following further in-depth investigations, it was revealed that, as of the last quarter of 2024, several oil companies owe a combined total of approximately ₦9.4 trillion.

This amount covers unpaid royalties, concession rentals, and gas flare penalties, in addition to obligations arising from Production Sharing Contracts, Repayment Agreements, and Modified Carry Arrangements. Despite the clear provisions of the Petroleum Industry Act – which require such debts to be settled within 30 days – many of these liabilities have remained unsettled since 2021.
