Government, the NNPC and oil companies and a host of others according to

by the government to ensure an increase in their contribution to
Nigeria’s crude oil production, contributed only 5.21 per cent to the
country’s total oil production in the seven-month period.
Giving a breakdown of the figure, the report said the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS, and the Department for Petroleum Resources, DPR, earned $1.966 billion about N393.2 billion, and $229.668 million or N45.93 billion respectively from Production Sharing Contract, PSC revenue.
