NNPC Limited Announces Impressive 2023 Fiscal Year Profits of N3.3 Trillion

Published

on


The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has some exciting news to share. In their recent media briefing on Monday, the chairman of the NNPC board, Pius Akinyelure, announced a substantial profit of N3.3 trillion for the 2023 fiscal year. This marks a remarkable increase from the N2.54 trillion profit reported in 2022.

Akinyelure proudly highlighted that this impressive jump in profits is a testament to the company’s financial resilience and strategic foresight. It is indeed a significant milestone for NNPC as it has been a long road to achieve such numbers.

Just think about it – back in 2018, the company recorded a loss of N803 billion and even posted another loss of N1.7 billion in 2019. But things started looking up in 2020 when NNPC turned things around with a profit of N287 billion, followed by an even higher profit of N674.1 billion in 2021.

But wait, there’s more good news! Not only did NNPC see an increase in profits, but its revenue also saw a gigantic leap last year, soaring to N24 trillion from N8.81 trillion in 2022.

These outstanding figures show how much progress NNPC has made over the years and how it continues to grow as one of Nigeria’s leading national petroleum companies.
