据国外媒体4月10日阿布贾报道,根据一份法律草案,尼日利亚政府可能在一家新国家石油公司成立10年内出售40%股权。
根据这份在议会召开期间交给媒体记者的法律草案,这家新国家石油公司至少10%将在其成立的前5年内剥离。尼日利亚石油部将拥有该公司的51%股权,而公共企业局将代表政府拥有剩余的49%股权。
为了改革尼日利亚国家石油公司并使其成为有利可图的石油公司,尼日利亚总统布哈里上个月批准了把这个庞然大物重组成5个部分。包括上游、下游、燃气和电力、炼油和合资集团在内的5个业务部门每个部门将由一个首席执行官领导并将至少拥有两个其他子公司。
由于受到炼油业务的拖累以及这个非洲最大原油生产国的财务状况在过去一年里受到原油价格暴跌的打击,尼日利亚国家石油公司在2015年损失了2670亿奈拉(13.4亿美元)的收入。为此,布哈里总统决定把重组尼日利亚国家石油公司作为其优先考虑的事情。

ABUJA, Nigeria -- Nigeria’s government may sell 40% of a new national oil company within 10 years of its creation, according to a draft law.
At least 10% of the company will be divested within five first years, according to the draft bill handed to reporters in Parliament in the capital,Abuja. Nigeria’s Petroleum Ministry will hold 51%, while the Bureau of Public Enterprise is to hold the remaining 49% for government.
Last month, President Muhammadu Buhari approved a restructuring of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp. into five units in a bid to reform the behemoth and make it profitable again. The business units comprising upstream, downstream, gas and power, refinery and a ventures group will each be headed by a CEO and will have at least two other subsidiaries.
The NNPC lost 267 billion naira ($1.34 billion) last year after being dragged down by its refining business and as the finances of Africa’s top crude producer has been battered by a drop in oil prices in the past 12 months. Buhari has made it a priority to restructure the company.
