The Federal Government has eventually complied with the demands of domestic crude oil refiners and other operators in the sector, as it declared on Monday that indigenous refineries can now buy crude oil in naira or dollars.
It also declared that the total crude oil and condensate reserves in Nigeria increased to 37.5 billion barrels as of January 1, 2024, with a life index of 68.01 years.
The government disclosed this through the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission at a briefing in Abuja, where it unveiled the new template for domestic crude oil supply obligation.
It stated that in compliance with the provisions of Section 109(2) of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021, the NUPRC in a landmark move, had developed a template guiding the activities for Domestic Crude Oil Supply Obligation.
“The commission in conjunction with relevant stakeholders from NNPC Upstream Investment Management Services, representatives of Crude Oil/Condensate Producers, Crude Oil Refinery-Owners Association of Nigeria, and Dangote Petroleum Refinery came up with the template for the buy-in of all.
“This is in a bid to foster a seamless implementation of the DCSO and ensure consistent supply of crude oil to domestic refineries,” the Chief Executive, NUPRC, Gbenga Komolafe, told journalists in Abuja.
Responding to a question on the currency of transaction for crude oil purchase, as approved in the new template, Komolafe stated that it would be either in naira or dollar, adding that naira transactions would free the pressure on the country’s foreign exchange rate.
The NUPRC boss also pointed out that the template had become effective because all necessary parties had signed up for it.
He said, “The PIA intends to make the implementation (of crude oil obligation) very easy for the parties, both for the producers and refineries. So the answer simply is that the currency for the transaction would either be in naira or dollar. That is the simple answer.
“But we all know that if the transaction is carried out in naira, that itself will free the pressure on the exchange rate. That will help the exchange rate. So that is the intent and besides, the overall intent of the Petroleum Industry Act is to develop our midstream, which is a very laudable provision of the PIA.”
In the currency of payment section of the new template, it was stated that “the payment shall be in either United States dollar or naira or both. Where the payment is in both currencies, the payment split shall be as agreed in the SPA between the producer and the refiner.”

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Wednesday retained its benchmark interest rate at 26.5 percent following the conclusion of its two-day Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting, a decision largely anticipated by analysts who expected policymakers to maintain the status quo.
CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso said the committee decided to keep rates unchanged amid caution over global shocks, particularly uncertainties stemming from developments in the United States and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
The decision highlights the MPC’s cautious stance as policymakers seek to balance the need to rein in inflationary pressures and anchor market expectations while sustaining economic recovery.
Data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) showed that Nigeria’s headline inflation rate continued its upward trend in April 2026, rising by 31 basis points to 15.69 percent year-on-year from 15.38 percent recorded in March.
The latest increase marks the second consecutive monthly rise in headline inflation, reversing the disinflationary trend that had persisted for 11 months and pushed inflation down from 34.8 percent in late 2024 to 15.06 percent in February 2026.
“While prevailing inflationary risks may justify a cautious policy posture by the MPC, the CPPE strongly urges the monetary authorities to avoid excessive reliance on monetary policy orthodoxy in managing what is fundamentally a structurally-driven inflation environment,” said Muda Yusuf, chief executive officer of the Centre for the Promotion of Private Enterprise.
