Investigative Forensic audit of crude oil revenues and remittances by <strong>NNPC</strong> (January 2012 – July 2013)<br />

4.4.3. Limitati<strong>on</strong>s<br />

<br />

We were not provided with and could not review all the working papers used in<br />

generating the market prices and volumes used in the joint submissi<strong>on</strong>s of DPR,<br />

PPPRA and <strong>NNPC</strong> to the Senate.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

We did not test the authenticity of the documents presented to us by PPPRA, <strong>NNPC</strong> as<br />

well as all other subsidiaries of <strong>NNPC</strong>.<br />

Lloyds List Intelligence and Thomps<strong>on</strong> Reuters Eik<strong>on</strong> databases could not provide<br />

informati<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the ownership of the products being carried by vessels or the kind of<br />

petroleum products (e.g. DPK or PMS) being carried.<br />

We could not verify all additi<strong>on</strong>al costs incurred by other marketers after buying DPK<br />

from PPMC to explain the difference between the official retail price of DPK (N50) and<br />

the actual retail price (N120 – N140 42 ).<br />

4.4.4.1. Issues in the verificati<strong>on</strong> process of <strong>NNPC</strong>’s PMS and DPK<br />

discharges by PPPRA<br />

In its letter of 24 September 2012 with reference number PPMC/S&D/049 43 to PPPRA, PPMC<br />

stated its challenges in putting together all the import documents for discharges that occurred<br />

before September 2012, and requested for waivers <strong>on</strong> these pre-September 2012 imports. This<br />

letter was signed by Engr K.O.K Omiogbemi <strong>on</strong> behalf of the MD of PPMC and acknowledged<br />

as received by PPPRA <strong>on</strong> 3 October 2012.<br />

In its resp<strong>on</strong>se to the letter of 24 September 2012 from PPMC, PPPRA in a letter 44 signed by<br />

V.Z. Shidok, with reference number PPPRA/LZ/IM.77/1/110 <strong>on</strong> 3 October 2012 stated as<br />

follows:<br />

“…While appreciating the c<strong>on</strong>cerns of PPMC <strong>on</strong> the issues raised in the referred letter, we<br />

equally wish to state that our request was occasi<strong>on</strong>ed by the <strong>on</strong>-going probe <strong>on</strong> PSF<br />

administrati<strong>on</strong> by investigators appointed by the government for that purpose. You would<br />

recall that prior to the present investigati<strong>on</strong>, the said documents were being overlooked by<br />

the Agency (PPPRA) but the demand for the documents by the investigators, have made it<br />

more compelling for them to be made available, more so that they can easily be sourced<br />

from the cargo suppliers. ..”<br />
