The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Malam Mele Kyari, says Nigeria would no longer pay subsidy on petrol with the ongoing global oil price decline.

Kyari disclosed this in a statement signed by NNPC spokesman, Dr Kennie Obateru, in Abuja on Monday.

The NNPC boss said this while he featured as a guest in a morning television programme.

“There is no subsidy and it is zero forever, going forward there will be no resort to either subsidy or under recovery of any nature.

“NNPC will play in the marketplace, it will just be another marketer in the space. But we will be there for the country to sustain security of supply at market price,” he said.

Kyari stated that NNPC was a transparent organisation, saying the National Oil Company was probably the only company in the world that published its monthly financial and operations reports.

He said the corporation was proud of the initiative, and assured Nigerians of NNPC’s commitment and observance of transparency and accountability in all its transactions.

He disclosed that as at April 5, Nigeria produced 2.3 million barrels of crude oil, including condensates.

He maintained that the plan was for the country to ramp up production to three million barrels per day in the nearest future.

Kyari said Nigeria was endowed with premium crude oil grades supplied to Europe, Asia and India.
