The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited recorded a sharp rise in income from its Road Infrastructure Tax Credit Scheme in 2025, up 10,374 per cent, despite the company’s decision to stop directly funding inherited road projects.

The oil company recognised N92.901m as Road Infrastructure Tax Credit uplift income in 2025, up from N887,000 in 2024, according to an analysis of its 2025 audited financial statements conducted by our correspondent on Friday.

The increase came in the year NNPC began shifting away from directly financing Federal Government road projects under the scheme introduced by the previous administration, prompting the government to seek alternative funding arrangements for unfinished projects.
