VerseNews reports that NEITI said the amount lost was as a result of the loss of over 619.7 million barrels of crude oil within this period.
The Executive Secretary of NEITI, Ogbonnaya Orji, who revealed this at a multi-stakeholders roundtable on the approval of the agency’s 2022 industry report also stated that Nigeria spent N13.7 trn on subsidy payments between 2005 and 2021.
