Controversy Surrounds Nigeria’s Oil Subsidy Scheme: Allegations of Financial Exploitation

Published

on


A major controversy has emerged surrounding Nigeria’s oil subsidy scheme, with accusations that President Tinubu is personally benefiting from the subsidy payments.

Despite the official removal of the subsidy, reports suggest it is still being secretly paid, effectively allowing Tinubu to pay himself. Critics argue this represents an extraordinary level of financial exploitation.

Additionally, allegations have surfaced that the government will continue to subsidize Tinubu even after he leaves office, ensuring his monopoly over Nigeria’s oil sector remains intact.

In 2023 alone, Nigeria reportedly imported over $2 billion worth of petroleum products through the Malta refinery. This stark increase in petroleum importation highlights a troubling trend in Nigeria’s oil importation future.

Historical data shows that Nigeria’s petroleum import from Malta was minimal from 2013 to 2022, with a sudden spike to $2.08 billion in 2023, raising concerns about potential financial manipulation and exploitation within the sector.
