Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited has disclosed that it transferred ₦14.706 trillion to the Federal Government of Nigeria in statutory payments between January and December 2025, underscoring a strong financial year for the state-owned energy firm.
The disclosure was contained in the company’s Monthly Report Summary for December 2025. According to the report, NNPC generated total revenue of ₦60.5 trillion in the 2025 financial year and posted a profit after tax of ₦5.76 trillion, reflecting improved operational performance and higher contributions to government revenue.
The report showed that statutory remittances to the federation rose significantly over the year, while profitability remained solid. NNPC also reported sustained activity across its oil and gas operations despite periods of maintenance and unexpected facility shutdowns.
On production, the company said natural gas output stood at about 6.9 billion standard cubic feet per day in December 2025, slightly lower than the level recorded in November. NNPC explained that the decline was largely due to planned maintenance at key assets, including the Stardeep-Agbami and Renaissance-Estuary Area fields, as well as unplanned outages at some facilities.
Beyond financial performance, the report provided updates on major gas infrastructure projects aimed at strengthening domestic energy supply. NNPC confirmed that welding works on the mainline of the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano Gas Pipeline have been completed as scheduled, while work continues on pressure and valve stations along the corridor.
The company also said early works on the OB3 River Niger Crossing have been concluded, with pilot hole drilling already underway. According to NNPC, both projects are progressing in line with timelines and are expected to significantly boost gas transmission capacity once completed.
Overall, the figures highlight NNPC’s growing role in supporting Nigeria’s public finances and energy security.
With major maintenance activities winding down and key gas projects advancing, the company is positioning itself to increase revenue contributions, expand domestic gas supply, and support economic growth in 2026 and beyond.
