The Minister of Finance, Budget and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, disclosed this at a panel session during the ongoing Nigerian Economic Summit (NES#27) in Abuja.

The Federal Government says it will take care of petrol subsidy in the first six months of 2022 and no more.She said the Federal Government had made provision for petrol subsidy till the end of June next year.

Zainab added that by July 2022, the complete deregulation of the downstream oil and gas sector will start. “In our 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,” she said.

The Chairman of the economic advisory council , Doyin Salami, also said that he had argued for a long time on the issue of the subsidy.“With the PIA essentially it makes illegal petrol subsidy and yes, there is a period where NNPC 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, 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.”
