NNPC Limited unveiled its Monthly Report Summary for September 2025 , highlighting a resilient performance in the energy sector despite challenges, with a provisional profit after tax of NGN 216 billion (over $147 million) and a groupwide revenue of NGN 4.269 billion ($2.9million).
The state-owned oil giant reported a crude oil and condensate production of 1.61 million barrels per day (mmbopd), slightly below the 2025 peak of 1.77 mmbopd, alongside a natural gas production of 6,284 million standard cubic feet per day (mmscf/d), reflecting a temporary dip due to planned maintenance at NLNG and delays in resuming operations at Oil Mining Leases (OMLs) 71 and 72.
Despite these hurdles, NNPC sustained impressive progress on key infrastructure projects, with the Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano (AKK) Gas Pipeline reaching 88% completion and the Obiafu-Obrikom-Oben (OB3) Gas Pipeline advancing with a commissioned 113km section now flowing approximately 300 mmscf/d of gas from producers like AHL and Platform.
The report also spotlighted NNPC Foundation’s transformative public impact initiatives, reinforcing the company’s commitment to social development. In September, the Foundation launched its Training for Vulnerable Farmers program in the Northern Zones, training 2,141 farmers in the North-Central Geopolitical Zone, bringing the cumulative total to 7,072 smallholder farmers empowered with agricultural skills.

Additionally, in collaboration with the Nigerian Cardiac Society, the Foundation provided life-saving percutaneous cardiac interventions to 25 indigent Nigerians, coupled with basic life support training. The Foundation further showcased its social interventions at the Africa Film Finance Forum (AFFF), supporting youth entrepreneurship in the creative industry with participation sponsorships for corps members and undergraduates, an event graced by World Trade Organisation President Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and key stakeholders from the British Council, American Film Academy, and Nigeria’s entertainment sector.
Strategic efforts underscored NNPC’s focus on industry-wide collaboration and production recovery, with upstream pipeline availability holding steady at 96% and OB3’s revised execution strategy promising timely delivery. The company reported statutory payments of NGN 10,073 billion from January to August, while gas sales on an M-2 basis dipped to 3,443 mmscf/d in September from a high of 4,978 mmscf/d in July. Crude oil and condensate sales totaled 17.81 million barrels in September, with 77% PMS availability across NNPC Retail stations nationwide.
As NNPC navigates phased asset recoveries and maintenance schedules, its leadership remains optimistic, emphasizing sustained investment in infrastructure like the AKK and OB3 pipelines to drive Nigeria’s energy security and economic growth. All figures remain provisional, subject to reconciliation with relevant stakeholders, with further updates anticipated in the coming months.
