Auditor-General’s Report: MDGIF not revenue collection agency — NMDPRA
By Obas Esiedesa, Abuja ABUJA — The Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, NMDPRA, has clarified that the Midstream and Downstream Gas Infrastructure Fund, MDGIF, is not responsible for collecting gas flare penalties, following concerns raised in the 2023/2024 Annual Report of the Auditor-General of the Federation.
It said variances identified in gas flare penalty remittances were due to timing and reconciliation issues within the multi-agency Federation Account channel through which the revenues are collected and remitted.
