Edwin pointed out that the talks are ongoing, with unresolved issues including crude pricing, pricing mechanisms, and determining the appropriate Naira exchange rate.

Notably, he revealed Aliko Dangote has agreed to sell products from NNPC to the government in Naira, despite potential financial losses, to support the country’s foreign exchange needs and stabilize the Naira’s value.

Dangote said:

I am willing to take this loss in the interest of the country. I don’t mind.

“The country is in bad shape. Someone has to take certain risks, and I am ready to face this loss, no matter how significant it may be.”
