TINUBUNOMICS: May 2023 VS April 2026 allocations!

#BelieveInPBAT

The market responded. Nigeria's share of African upstream Final Investment Decisions rose from about four percent in the years to 2023 to roughly forty percent across 2024 and 2025 — with about ten billion dollars committed and a visible pipeline of some fifty billion ahead.

Stalled projects are moving again — Bonga North, Ubeta and HI gas developments and new non-associated gas developments that anchor long-term supply to our LNG exports. When Nigeria improves the rules of the game, capital returns to the field.

Fourth, we repositioned gas as the foundation for industrialisation.

For Nigeria, gas is not merely a transition fuel. It is a development fuel — central to power, fertiliser, petrochemicals, clean cooking, CNG transport, LNG exports and manufacturing.

Our proven reserves now stand at over 215 trillion cubic feet of gas, and gross gas production has risen from about 6.83 billion standard cubic feet per day in 2023 to about 7.63 billion today.

But the goal is not simply to produce more gas. It is to ensure Nigerian gas becomes Nigerian power, Nigerian products, Nigerian jobs and Nigerian exports. A nation does not grow wealthy by owning resources. It grows wealthy by converting them into value.

Fifth, we are restoring financial viability to the gas-to-power chain.

For years the power sector was constrained by accumulated arrears, weak payment discipline and tariff distortions. The Presidential Power Sector Debt Reduction Programme was built to address this directly — a Federal Executive Council-approved bond programme of up to ₦4 trillion to settle verified generation- and gas-company arrears.

Under it, generation companies have signed full and final settlement agreements worth about ₦2.28 trillion, and the ₦501 billion Series 1 bond was issued and oversubscribed, with payments to generation and gas companies now underway. A second series of ₦729 billion will follow to complete the first phase.

This is not a bailout. It is a strategic reset — one that clears verified arrears, restores liquidity, and gives operators the footing to invest with confidence. Government obligations must be honoured if private capital is to return.

That reset is matched by reforms on the ground. The national metering rate has risen to about fifty-seven percent, with hundreds of thousands of new meters deployed each year.

Two distinct programmes — the Presidential Metering Initiative and a separate World Bank-supported programme — are together set to deploy several million additional meters in the years ahead. Metering protects consumers, reduces estimated billing, and builds the commercial discipline investment requires.

Tariff reform is being implemented pragmatically — about forty-five percent of the market is now on cost-reflective tariffs linked to service quality, while the subsidised segment is redesigned to better protect vulnerable households, already reducing the projected subsidy burden by over a trillion naira.

Ladies and gentlemen — this is the wider point.

When we speak of energy reform, we are not speaking only of oil companies, power plants or investors. We are speaking of the price of food, the cost of transport, the survival of small businesses, the strength of the naira, and jobs for young Nigerians. Energy reform is not an elite conversation. It is a national development conversation.

We have done the foundational work. The directives were issued. The decisions were taken. The structures were designed. The agreements were negotiated and signed. The task ahead, for the new sector leadership and for all of us, is to build upon it: to move from financial stabilisation to service delivery, expanded access, and the reliable power Nigeria's industrial ambitions require.

We laid the foundation. The work now is to build on it — together.

From a massive boost in our foreign reserves to major investments in solid minerals, the economic foundation is shifting. But the real game-changer for our generation? The Digital Switch Over Programme is officially live, targeting 40 million households and a massive ₦600BN in economic value!

More digital reach means more opportunities for creators, techies, and entrepreneurs. The future is digital, and it’s being built right now.
