These measures are designed to reduce living costs, enhance energy security, and accelerate Nigeria’s transition to cleaner energy sources.

In addition, the Notice of Tax Incentives for Deep Offshore Oil & Gas Production offers new tax reliefs for deep offshore projects, positioning Nigeria’s deep offshore basin as a prime destination for global oil and gas investments.

These reforms are part of a broader series of investment-driven policy initiatives championed by President Bola Tinubu.

They were introduced to reflect the administration’s commitment to sustainable growth in the energy sector and enhancing Nigeria’s global competitiveness in oil and gas production.

The federal government further asserted that these bold initiatives will help Nigeria reclaim its position as a leader in the global oil and gas market, driving economic prosperity for all Nigerians.
