DPR: $1.5 billion World Bank loan may be needless

Fuel price Hike

[url=https://thenationonlineng.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/oil-gas.jpg]







 

THE Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) at the weekend said with the remittance of at least $1.03billion to the Federation Account and an additional $600million expected from oil and gas royalties and legacy debts, the delayed $1.5 billion loans being expected from the World Bank by the country might be needless.

According to the DPR, some of the revenue generated and remitted by the agency would save the country from additional and conditional borrowing from the Bretton Woods institution, adding that it had enjoined the government to delay and possibly ignore the loan.

DPR collects oil and gas royalties, which represent the proportional value of oil and gas production and sales from oilfields, gas flare penalties imposed for gas flaring, concession rentals, paid for the grant of oil and gas acreages by exploration and production companies, and miscellaneous oil revenue which consists of statutory application fees, licence and permit fees and penalties.

Besides, the Federal Government hopes that the country would become a net exporter of refined products in 2022 going by the number of refineries coming on stream by that time.

The World Bank had been delaying the much-needed $1.5 billion loan sought by the government, due to concerns over reforms. The bank believes the country has not shown enough commitment towards achieving them.

The World Bank had included the unification of the naira and removal of fuel subsidy as some of the key reform requirements listed as conditions precedent to obtaining the facility.


 

The delay had left the country, which has been battling with low oil prices, with a huge revenue gap that makes it difficult to fully finance the revised $28.35 billion (N10.8 trillion) 2020 budget. Already, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has said the country’s balance of payments gap this year will be $14 billion.

Speaking during an interactive session with the House of Representatives Committee on Petroleum (Upstream) in Lagos, DPR Director, Sarki Auwalu said the agency has generated over N1 trillion this year, with an average N1.9 billion revenue per staff, adding that it hopes to generate N2.3 trillion next year.

He stressed the need to ease regulations to open up the sector for investment, considering the number of open acreages yet to be explored in frontier and inland basins and increased competition from neighbouring countries.

According to him, the oil industry is facing challenges bordering on oil price crash, OPEC cuts, and Covid-19, therefore necessitating regulations that encourage investment and the passage of the Petroleum Industry Bill (PIB).



Chairman of the Committee, Musa Adar commended the regulator, adding that the visit would help legislators understand the challenges of the industry better with a view to addressing concerns
