 Malik Airi, Group Chief Executive Officer of the Niger National Petroleum Company Limited says the federal government still owes the firm the sum of 2.8 trillion naira spent on petrol subsidy. Addressing journalist Aftar a meeting with President Bola Tinobu in Abuja, Airi said the subsidy payment was no longer sustainable as it hinders the company from funding its core businesses. Airi said the NNPC made the petrol subsidy payments from its cash flow, noting that the government has been unable to pay back the 2.8 trillion naira spent so far. Today the country don't have the money to pay for subsidy. There is incremental value that will come from it, but it is not an issue of whether you can do it or not because today we can afford it. And they are not able to pay our bill. That comes to how much is the federation owing NNPC now. Today we are waiting for them to settle up to 2.8 trillion naira of NNPC's cash flow.
