He also that no subsidy is charged to the federation, adding that the NNPC has contributed 4.45 trillion naira as direct revenue into the federation in a combination of taxes, royalties and dividends and paid 406 billion naira as dividend to Federal Government’s account from July 2023.

 

Kyari also disclosed that Nigeria does not have credible data for PMS consumption in the country because of the absence of the instrument to measure.
