Abuja – The Minister of finance, Hajia Zainab Ahmed said that the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has requested for N3 trillion as fuel subsidy for 2022.

Ahmed who disclosed this in Abuja said that the amount represented an average of ₦270 billion per month.

She, however, stated that only N443 billion is presently available in the 2022 budget meant to accommodate subsidy from January to June.

She also stated that the current realities on the ground, including lack of structures, for now, has necessitated the NNPC to make the request.

That request, she revealed, was considered by the council, which has directed the ministry to approach the National Assembly for an amendment to the fiscal framework as well as the budget.

The Minister of Finance, Budget, and National Planning spoke to State House correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting, presided over by President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday.

“In 2022, because of the increased crude oil price per barrel in the global market, now at $80 per barrel, and also because NNPC’s assessment is that Nigeria is that the country is consuming 65.7 million litres per day, that we would end up with an incremental cost of N3 trillion in 2022,” she said.

According to Ahmed, by implication, the federal government will have to make an incremental provision of N2.557 trillion in order to meet subsidy requirements, which currently averages about N270 billion per month. (vitalnews)
