… Says N714b paid in seven months

 The Federal Government  has  said that there is no plan to end petrol subsidy for now,.

 Minister of Finance,  Budget and National Planning  Mrs. Zainab Ahmed said provision has been made for the first six months of next year.

She explained that subsidy payment would stop since complete deregulation of the downstream oil and gas sector will start by July 2022.

The minister stated this at a panel session during the 27th Nigerian Economic Summit (NES#27) in Abuja on Monday.

“In the 2022 budget, we only factored in subsidy for the first half of the year; the second half of the year, we are looking at complete deregulation of the sector, saving foreign exchange and potentially earning more from the oil and gas industry, “ Ahmed said.

Although The  Nation had reported that no specific provision was made for subsidy payment in the 2022 budget, a top official of the   Finance Ministry,  said yesterday that the government was banking on extra-budgetary expenses for the purpose.

 “Money to fund petrol subsidy will be drawn from a special account domiciled in the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation (OAGF),” the official explained.

At the event, Prof. Doyin Salami, chairman of the Economic Advisory Council (EAC), described subsidy payment as illegal. Also, Director-General, Debt Management Office(DMO) Patience Oniha told participants that the government has so far issued N1.5 trillion promissory notes to its creditors.

Salami said he had argued for a long time that subsidy needed to go since the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) made the payment illegal.

The  EAC  chairman said: “  The  PIA essentially makes illegal to pay petrol subsidy. Yes, there is a period where NNPC(Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation) and the new regulatory agencies must calibrate themselves, but at the end of this period – and I think it is about six months, which explains why the minister has said for the first half of the year, there is a provision.

“My view will be if we could get it done sooner than that, it will be excellent. It releases money. The key point is simply this: we are now, any which way, at the tail end of that conversation, except if we choose not to obey the law. My sense is we will obey the law and subsidy will be gone.”

NNPC, the only importer of petrol,  deducts subsidy payment from oil and gas proceeds due to the federal, state, and local governments since no provision was made for it in the 2021 budget.

In seven months, petrol subsidy payments gulped N714 billion.

Explaining the N1.5 trillion promissory notes issued by government creditors, Oniha, added: “We can’t talk about debt alone, we must also talk about revenues.”

The DMO boss explained that “when you borrow and invest  monies wisely, it will enhance growth and development”

She added that that was “why we(government)   issued promissory notes of N1.5 trillion approved by the National Assembly. “

Oniha said: “We can’t talk about debt alone; we must also talk about revenues. When you borrow and invest these monies wisely, it will enhance growth and development which is why we have issued promissory notes of N1.5 trillion approved by the National Assembly.”

She noted that “to include any debt data in the country’s debt stock, it has to be approved by the National Assembly and the Federal Executive Council,

The DMO  chief admitted that Nigeria’s debt service to revenue is high and should not be at the level that it is.  She therefore called for multiple ways of growing revenue to invest in the future.

She said Nigeria’s Debt Management Strategy “provides a framework on how to undertake borrowings in the country”.

Another panelist, Taiwo Oyedele, suggested that “if we want to optimise, we have to harmonise multiple taxation and multiplicity of collection agencies to ensure that revenue collection mechanisms are boosted.”

Oyedele, who is  Africa Tax lead at the PwC,    disagreed with some policies of the government which allows about 60 MDAs(Ministries, Departments, and Agencies) to generate revenue.

According to him,  “it is impossible for that number of agencies to be involved in revenue collection. They   should concentrate on providing services.” The Nation
