Nigeria NEITI transparency efforts

Entities: Nigeria · George Akume · Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo · Central Bank of Nigeria · Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative

Overview

In late July 2026, Nigeria’s federal government highlighted its commitment to extractive‑sector openness by launching a three‑day joint retreat for the National Stakeholders’ Working Group and the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI). Senior officials, including Senator George Akume and President Bola Tinubu, framed the 2026 EITI validation as a chance to deepen reforms, improve accountability, and attract investment.

A few days later, the Senate Public Accounts Committee opened a two‑day hearing to scrutinise oil and gas revenue streams in light of NEITI’s 2021‑2023 audit reports. Panelists from the national petroleum company, the central bank, regulators and major oil firms were summoned to discuss revenue collection, statutory compliance and the broader goal of strengthening transparency and prudent management of Nigeria’s petroleum resources.
