The Nigerian National Petroleum Commission (NNPC) Limited remitted nothing to the federal government coffers in August as its subsidy deduction increased to N2.565 trillion.
President of the World Bank Group David Malpas says the bank will help Nigeria in phasing out fuel subsidy by increasing social assistance to the poor and vulnerable.
Nigeria's Minister of Finance and National Planning, Zainab Ahmed, has said that the government paid N6.210 trillion to oil marketers as subsidy in eight years.
The Federal Government says subsidies on fuel will be stopped by June 2023.
