Nigeria has taken a significant step towards economic growth and self-sufficiency by commencing the sale of crude oil and refined petroleum products in Naira as of October 1, 2024.

This groundbreaking move, announced by the Honourable Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Wale Edun, on Saturday, October 5, 2024, is in line with the Federal Executive Council (FEC) directive.

The Implementation Committee, chaired by the Honourable Minister of Finance, reviewed the progress of the Crude Oil and Refined Products Sales in Naira initiative.

“The sale of crude oil and refined products in Naira has officially begun as directed by the Federal Executive Council. This initiative marks a bold step towards economic sustainability and currency stability,” Edun stated.
