Nigerians continue to bear the brunt of these missing oil revenues.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter, read in part: \u201cThe alleged missing oil revenues reflect a failure of NNPCL accountability more generally and are directly linked to the institution\u2019s continuing failure to uphold the principles of transparency and accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would be grateful if the recommended measures are taken within 7 days of the receipt and\/or publication of this letter. If we have not heard from you by then, SERAP shall consider appropriate legal actions to compel the NNPCL to comply with our requests in the public interest.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHad the NNPCL and its subsidiaries accounted for and remitted the disappeared public funds into the Federation Account, it is likely that more funds would have been allocated to the fulfillment of economic and social rights, such as increased spending on public goods and services.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe missing oil revenues have also impeded Nigerians\u2019 ability to enjoy their economic and social rights, and denied them access to essential public goods and services, especially at the time of cost of living crisis in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cExplaining the whereabouts of the missing public funds, naming and shaming those suspected to be responsible and ensuring that suspected perpetrators are brought to justice and the full recovery of any missing public funds would serve the public interest and end the impunity of perpetrators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigerians have the right to know the whereabouts of the disappeared oil money. Ensuring transparency and accountability in the management of oil revenues would advance the right of Nigerians to restitution, compensation and guarantee of non-repetition.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the recently published 2020 audited report by the Auditor General of the Federation (AGF), the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) failed to remit over USD$2 billion and N164 billion oil revenues into the Federation Account.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Auditor-General fears that the money may have been diverted into private pockets, denying the government the funding needed to carry out its activities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NNPCL reportedly failed and\/or refused to remit N151,121,999,966. The NNPCL without any justification deducted the money from the oil royalties assessed for 2020 by the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) now Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NNPCL has failed to account for the missing public funds. The Auditor-General wants the money recovered and remitted into the Federation Account.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NNPCL also failed to remit USD$19,774,488.15 collected as government revenue into the Federation Account. The Auditor-General wants the NNPCL to account for the money, recover and remit it into the Federation Account, and to hand over those suspected to be involved to the ICPC and the EFCC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) Ltd also reportedly failed to account for USD$2,021,411,877.47 and N13,313,565,786.49 of royalties collected from crude oil and gas sales and gas flare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Auditor-General wants the public funds fully recovered and remitted into the Federation Account and for those suspected to be responsible for the missing public funds to be handed over to the ICPC and the EFCC.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese grim allegations by the Auditor-General suggest a grave violation of the public trust and the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended], national anticorruption laws, and the country\u2019s obligations under the UN Convention against Corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe allegations have undermined the economic development of the country, trapped the majority of Nigerians in poverty and deprived them of opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSERAP is concerned that despite the country\u2019s enormous oil wealth, ordinary Nigerians have derived very little benefit from oil money primarily because of widespread grand corruption, and the entrenched culture of impunity of perpetrators.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCombating the corruption epidemic in the oil sector would alleviate poverty, improve access of Nigerians to basic public goods and services, and enhance the ability of the government to meet its human rights and anti-corruption obligations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSERAP notes that Section 15(5) of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended) requires public institutions to abolish all corrupt practices and abuse of power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSection 16(2) of the Nigerian Constitution further provides that, \u2018the material resources of the nation are harnessed and distributed as best as possible to serve the common good.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSection 13 of the Nigerian Constitution 1999 [as amended] imposes clear responsibility on the NNPCL to conform to, observe and apply the provisions of Chapter 2 of the constitution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParagraph 3112(ii) of the he Financial Regulations 2009 provides that, \u2018Where a public officer fails to account for government revenue, such officer shall be surcharged for the full amount involved and such officer shall be handled over to either the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) or the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNigeria has made legally binding commitments under the UN Convention against Corruption to ensure accountability in the management of public resources. Articles 5 and 9 of the UN Convention against Corruption also impose legal obligations on the NNPCL to ensure proper management of public affairs and public funds. These commitments ought to be fully upheld and respected.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demand full recovery and remittance of the missing USD$2.04 billion and N164
