A breakdown of the company’s monthly financial and operational report, published late Thursday, reveals that revenue in July was ₦4.41 trillion, which is less than the ₦4.57 trillion achieved in June.
Historical figures show that NNPC recorded a profit of ₦926 billion in April and ₦1.05 trillion in May, before declining to ₦905 billion in June. The results for July reflect the company’s poorest performance in recent times, despite a modest increase in production.

Upstream activities were noted to be stable, maintaining pipeline availability at 100%.
