Edun signals PIA review as Tinubu’s executive order 9 takes effect.

The Nigerian government is tightening its grip on petroleum revenues, with Minister of Finance Wale Edun signaling a possible review of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) to implement President Bola Tinubu's Executive Order 9. This order aims to ensure revenues from petroleum operations are handled transparently and in line with constitutional principles, protecting federation revenues and supporting fiscal stability.

Key changes include:

 • Immediate Suspension: NNPC Limited will stop collecting 30% management fees and 30% frontier exploration fund deductions from profit oil and gas under Production Sharing Contracts (PSCs).

 • Direct Remittance: Contractors will remit profit oil, royalty oil, and tax oil directly into the federation account, respecting existing contracts and financing arrangements.

  • Review of PIA: A technical subcommittee will review the PIA to address structural and fiscal anomalies weakening federation revenues.

The goal is to enhance transparency, predictability, and constitutional alignment in revenue allocation, benefiting Nigeria's citizens.
