The Federal Government has announced that it will begin making payments in Naira for crude oil sales to the Dangote Refinery and other entities starting October 1, 2024.
This marks a significant milestone in Nigeria’s economic transformation.
Additionally, it has been revealed that the first delivery of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) from the Dangote Refinery is anticipated in September, according to existing agreements.
The decision was reached on Monday during a key meeting of the Implementation Committee on Crude Oil Sales in Naira, chaired by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, at his office in Abuja.
This meeting underscored a crucial step toward fulfilling the Presidential directive aimed at bolstering Nigeria’s economic growth and development.
In a statement, Mohammed Manga, Director of Information and Public Relations at the Federal Ministry of Finance, said, “the Committee reviewed progress on major initiatives, including the upcoming implementation of Naira payments for crude oil sales to the Dangote Refinery starting from October 1, 2024.
This represents a significant milestone in Nigeria’s economic transformation.”
Dr. Zacch Adedeji, Executive Chairman of the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) and Chairman of the Technical Sub-Committee, reported that the first PMS delivery from Dangote is expected next month, according to the existing agreements.
Key roles for stakeholders—including the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), and the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank)—were outlined to ensure smooth implementation.
Manga also noted that updates on the Port Harcourt and Dangote Refineries indicated significant production increases are expected from November 2024.
The Minister emphasized the importance of transparency and instructed the Technical Sub-Committee to finalize the details and prepare a report for the President, ensuring that the directives are on track for implementation from September.
With the progress made by the Implementation Committee and Mr. Edun’s guidance, Nigeria is set to experience a smooth transition to Naira payments for crude oil sales.
The collaboration among stakeholders, including regulatory bodies and financial institutions, will ensure a transparent and efficient implementation process.
This economic milestone is expected to have a profound impact on Nigeria’s growth and development, setting a new standard for economic prosperity.

Five states will receive $3 million each in performance-based grants under the World Bank-supported HOPE Governance Programme after meeting key requirements aimed at improving budget planning and transparency in the education and primary healthcare sectors.
The National Coordinator of the programme, Dr. Assad Hassan, announced this on Tuesday at a retreat in Abuja attended by Commissioners, Permanent Secretaries and Directors of Budget and Planning from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory.
He said the incentive payments, amounting to $27 million, are tied to the successful implementation of specific governance reforms verified by an independent assessment team engaged by the programme.
According to Hassan, Bayelsa, Borno, Kano, Kebbi and Yobe states emerged as the top performers after meeting two major reform targets relating to budget planning for basic education and primary healthcare. Each of the five states qualified for $1.5 million under each target, bringing their total reward to $3 million.
He explained that the reforms required participating states to introduce standard guidelines for preparing and submitting annual work plans for education and primary healthcare budgets within the prescribed timeline.
Nine states also qualified for another round of incentives after ensuring that their local governments adopted harmonised budget guidelines and a uniform chart of accounts.
The benefiting states are Adamawa, Bayelsa, Borno, Delta, Gombe, Kano, Plateau, Taraba and Yobe, with each receiving $500,000.
In another category, 15 states met the conditions for publishing their 2025 Citizens’ Budgets for basic education and primary healthcare, making them eligible for grants of $500,000 each.
The states are Abia, Bayelsa, Borno, Edo, Ekiti, Enugu, Imo, Jigawa, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Nasarawa, Ondo, Plateau and Yobe.
Hassan said many states were unable to benefit because they failed to complete the required reforms before the deadline, did not satisfy key assessment conditions or failed to make the required documents available on their official websites.
“The disbursement is based on the findings and recommendations of the Interim Independent Verification Agent, which assessed the performance of states in meeting the Year Zero Disbursement-Linked Indicators,” he said.
He noted that the programme had also identified weaknesses that slowed implementation in several states, particularly the absence of effective coordination among relevant government institutions, which affected ownership of the reforms and their long-term sustainability.
The National Coordinator disclosed that the second phase of the Year Zero verification exercise is expected to be completed by July this year.
He said preparations had already begun for a comprehensive capacity-building programme that would provide technical support to states to improve their performance in subsequent assessments.
According to him, the HOPE Governance Programme is designed to improve how public funds are managed in basic education and primary healthcare by promoting transparency, strengthening accountability and ensuring that money allocated to the two sectors is used more effectively.
He added that the programme also supports better planning and implementation of annual budgets while helping governments address shortages of teachers and primary healthcare workers through improved recruitment and deployment.
The HOPE Governance Programme is a $500 million initiative supported by the World Bank to strengthen financing, accountability and service delivery in Nigeria’s basic education and primary healthcare sectors across the federal, state and local government levels.
