Order 9 of 2026: Presidential Executive Order to Safeguard Federation Oil and Gas Revenues and Provide Regulatory Clarity, 2026
Signed & Gazetted
@NigeriaGov@NGRPresident
Dear Nigerians,
Effective February 13, 2026, I signed an Executive Order to restore what belongs to the Nigerian people.
For too long, excessive deductions, overlapping funds, and structural distortions in the oil and gas sector have weakened remittances to the Federation Account. When revenues meant for federal, state, and local governments are trapped in layers of charges and retention mechanisms, development suffers. That must end.
With Order 9 of 2026 (Presidential Executive Order to Safeguard Federation Oil and Gas
Revenues and Provide Regulatory Clarity, 2026) which has now been gazetted, all Royalty Oil, Tax Oil, Profit Oil, Profit Gas, and other government entitlements under Production Sharing and related contracts will now be paid directly into the Federation Account. The additional 30 per cent management fee and the 30 per cent Frontier Exploration deduction will no longer stand in the way of national revenue.
Our objective is transparency, accountability, and full constitutional compliance.
Oil and gas revenues must serve the Nigerian people first and this reform is about fairness and fiscal responsibility.
As we strengthen national security, invest in education, expand healthcare, stabilise the economy, and advance our energy transition, every legitimate naira due to the Federation must be protected.
NNPC Limited will operate strictly as a commercial enterprise, as intended under law. The era of duplicative deductions and fragmented oversight is over.
Our administration will also undertake a comprehensive review of the Petroleum Industry Act to address structural and fiscal anomalies that weaken national revenue. I have also approved the establishment of an Implementation Committee to oversee and ensure the effective, coordinated implementation of the executive order.
Nigeria can no longer afford leakage where there should be leadership.
We are safeguarding the Federation Account.
We are strengthening our budget.
We are acting in the national interest.
This was my promise to Nigerians when I asked for this job. Nigeria First.
I thank you all.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces
Federal Republic of Nigeria
I know, as a journalist, I have once or twice been in your DM to verify some information from you. Nonetheless, I want you to know that, having come across your recent stance and lack of actual awareness of what's really going on in the world around you, I never gave it a second thought before sending you to the block industry.
You should also know my problem is not with you alone, but with every Nigerian, home or abroad, who, having witnessed one of the gut-wrenching and well-documented genocides in human history (Gaza), yet goes on to, in an illogical and stupid manner, put their hopes behind war criminals like Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump.
The fact is also not lost on me that I am posting into the void, because, as always, this would go over many people's heads as noise. However, it's now apparent to me that almost every Nigerian is forgetting that they have the free will to take charge of their country and their destinies, just as the people in Bamako, Niamey, and Ouagadougou have done.
Because what's the point of having free will, education, and access to enormous information, only to put your hopes for a “safe” Nigeria into the hands of a zionist and an imperialist who are both guilty as hell of war crimes and are using your borrowed faith to further their primary objectives of subjugating you.
I guess we might not make it as a collective if people like you with access to the internet and information can be this emotionally driven by words coming out of a war criminal's mouth. Netanyahu murdered babies, had his settler colonial war criminal soldiers raped underage, and starved a whole country to death without a single arrest for crimes committed against humanity. I can't even begin to imagine what an average Nigerian who is clueless as to all that is happening would think if exposed to a bit of zionism and imperialism.
Smh...
