NNPC Limited Declares N674 Billion Profit After Tax for 2021 FYE

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) declared a Profit After Tax of N674 billion for the 2021 financial year. This is the second time the government-owned oil company will declare a profit in 48 years.

NNPCL, Group Chief Executive Officer, Mele Kyari, disclosed that the NNPCL as a corporation grew its profit after tax from N287 billion in 2020 to N674 billion in 2021. 

Kyari also announced that the corporation grew its assets from N15.86 trillion in 2020 to N16.3 trillion in 2021. 

Investors King noted that this is the second time NNPCL will declare a profit after tax in 48 years.

The company made its first profit after tax in 2020 when it declared a profit after tax of N287 billion.

The GCEO, Mele Kyari, while declaring 2021 profit in Abuja said the development came despite the challenging operating environment. 

Kyari said: “Today, I am happy to announce that the board of NNPC Limited has approved 2021 audited financial statements, and NNPCL has progressed to a new performance level, from N287b profit in 2020 to a N674b profit after tax in 2021, climbing higher by 134.8 per cent year-on-year profit growth.”

NNPCL recently acquired Oando’s OVH Energy with the aim to grow the profit and portfolio of the national oil company. 

The Petroleum Industry Act (PIA) has transitioned NNPCL to a profit-oriented company.

Likewise, Kyari also boasted that the rebranded NNPC Limited will soon become the most profitable company in Africa. 

Meanwhile, Kyari stated that the new company will not leave any stone unturned to increase its oil production. He further noted that efforts have already been paying off. 

Investors King earlier reported that NNPCL is set to open the Trans Niger Pipeline (TNP) which was shut down six months ago due to oil theft and vandalism.

The oil company aims to add about 400,000 barrels of crude to its output in the next few days.
