Tinubu Approves NNPC’s Request To Use Dividends To Pay Subsidy - SR by treesun(op): 9:29am On Aug 19, 2024
The report which is based on a forecast from NNPC, obtained by the newspaper, indicated that the total petrol subsidy expenses from August 2023 to December 2024 will amount to N6.884 trillion, leaving the company unable to remit N3.987 trillion in taxes and royalties to the federation account.

Despite many denials by the Nigerian government on non-payment of fuel subsidies, President Bola Tinubu has given approval to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited to use the 2023 final dividends owed to the federation to cover the cost of petrol subsidies, BusinessDay reports.

The president reportedly approved a halt on the payment of 2024 interim dividends to the federation to help boost NNPC’s cash flow.

The NNPC informed the president that due to the subsidy payments, it is currently unable to pay taxes and royalties into the federation account, referring to this as a “subsidy shortfall/FX differential”.

The exact number of dividends that would be withheld or put on hold could not be verified at the time of filing this report.

No be dribble NNPC wan dribble FG so?

I dont know how these things work, But I know for sure that KPMG audits FG account

To be honest, FG needs to hire special investigators for NNPC like they it did with CBN

The fact that almost all their financial claims are never verified makes me wonder if FG really knows how bad that group is

We said so that SUBSIDY IS NOT GONE, Nlfpmod, we Nigerians need to sit down and search our hearts how we want this country to go. If we want to lie to ourselves and pretend we are moving forward or retrogressing destroying the future. Serious queues everywhere, people can't get to offices and businesses. Some people are telling us economy is growing. cry cry

[color=#1986BC] So subsidy wasn't gone after all....All he just had to do was to keep quiet during inauguration day and maybe Dollar would still be at most 1000# and inflation would still be manageable.[/color]

At this point I won't doubt what Sahara reporters say after they exposed the private jet tinubu bought for himself amid hunger and suffering Nigerians are going through.

Tinubu should quit this hide and seek on subsidy and tell everyone the truth you can't fool over 200 million people after pocketing your cheap kinsmen

Re: Tinubu Approves NNPC’s Request To Use Dividends To Pay Subsidy - SR by BrighterSyde: 10:21am On Aug 19, 2024
Tinubu protested against subsidy during Jonathan’s time. He said it did not exist and was a means to siphon money.

Tinubu removed the same subsidy he said did not exist and said we will benefit from the removal. Till now what is the benefit to the common man? Ask the idiats defending apc they will name infrastructure that the common man who is in the majority will hardly use. But common bread and beans is now out of their reach.

Now the same Tinubu has approved payment of subsidy.

If you are supporting APC, PDP or LP and you are above 25 and not getting paid for your support then you are a monumental fool.

But if you are like helinues, freestuffng, mannabbqgrillz aka nlpolicewoman, yarimo and the others who have removed their brains to defend apc but are still getting paid then you are better off.

You won’t see the nonentities I mentioned above on a thread like this cos it will be difficult defending their paymasters.

"Subsidy is gone" was the first statement the charlatan made on his inauguration yet Nigeria is still paying trillions for Subsidy yet the price of fuel didn't come down.
If you still believe a single word that's comes out of Tinubu you have no brain in your head.
Nonsense
