FIRS Chairman, Dr. Zacch Adedeji, announced this achievement during a visit from a delegation of senior military officers led by the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa. He confirmed that the coordinating director of the Large Tax Group reported the 2025 oil and gas sector target was achieved due to steady production and higher profitability among sector operators.
“This is the first time in a long while that we’ve met our oil and gas target,” Adedeji stated. “The peace in oil-producing areas has allowed production to thrive, and companies are making more profit. Prosperity can only be achieved in an atmosphere of peace — and the Armed Forces, alongside key partners like PINL, are critical stakeholders in sustaining that peace.”
The contribution of Pipeline Infrastructure Nigeria Limited (PINL) was underscored by its General Manager, Community and Stakeholders Relations, Dr. Akpos Mezeh, during a monthly engagement with host communities from Rivers, Abia, and Imo States. He stated that PINL’s operations were vital to the national revenue milestone.
