The Federal Government's outstanding debts to power generation companies reached N6 trillion at the end of 2025, prompting the government to turn to the bond market to raise funds. According to the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission's 2025 industry report, the government's gross tariff subsidy obligation stood at N1.928 trillion for the year, representing 57.44 percent of the total NBET invoice. This translates to an average monthly subsidy obligation of N160.69 billion, distributed across the four quarters. The 2025 figure marked a slight decline from the N1.949 trillion recorded in 2024.
