The Digest:

NNPC Retail Limited, a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), reported a staggering N395.5 billion loss for the 2024 fiscal year, reversing a N20.18 billion profit from 2023. The loss, attributed to non-recurring impairments and intercompany reconciliation issues, has plunged the company into a net liability position of N278.8 billion.

Key Points:
  • NNPC Retail’s loss surged from a 2023 profit due to one-off impairments and accounting adjustments
  • A N117 billion receivables impairment and N133.9 billion intercompany reconciliation gap drove the deficit
  • The group (including Apapa SPM and NNPC Retail Togo) reported a consolidated loss of N391.1 billion
  • Directors insist these are "non-recurring" losses and expect a return to profitability
  • NNPC Limited has committed continued financial support to stabilize the subsidiary
  • The loss coincides with ongoing legislative probes into NNPC’s acquisition of OVH Energy
Despite the bleak figures, management emphasizes historical profitability and market dominance as foundations for recovery.
