The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has announced a trading deficit of N1.22 billion for September last year.

According to the report, NNPC recorded a trading surplus of N28.38 billion in the month, slightly lower than the N29.60 billion recorded in August.

“The marginal deficit was due to lower contribution from the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company (NPDC) which recorded zero crude oil lifting from the Okono Okpoho facility during the month,” it added.
