The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) says it has made N7.15 billion as trading surplus in the month of June, lower than N18.12 billion made in May.

The Corporation disclosed this on its June edition of the Monthly Financial Report made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), on Tuesday in Abuja.

NAN reports that the version was the 35th edition of the financial report of the corporation.

“This 35th edition of the report indicated a trading surplus of N7.15billion which is relatively lower than the May 2018 trading surplus of N18.12billion.

“The reduced performance was mainly due to decline in the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company’s (NPDC) production and lifting,’’ it said

According to the report, the corporation has developed 12 key Business Focus Areas (BUFA) to grow the business and increase profitability for the benefit of Nigerians.

It noted that the business focus area had contributed to consistency in trading surplus of the corporation since February this year.

It named the 12 key business areas to include: Security, New Business models, Joint Venture cash calls, Production and reserve growth, NPDC growth and gas Development.

Others areas are Refinery upgrade and expansion, Renewable Energy and Frontier Exploration, Oil and Gas  infrastructure, Ventures and common services, professionalism and Accountability and staff welfare.

On supply of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), known as petrol, the report noted that 44.37 million litres of PMS were supplied by NNPC through Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC), its subsidiary for the month of June.

“This effort continued to ensure seamless supply and distribution of products,’’ it said.
