From January 2026, Nigerians will pay a 5% tax on all fossil fuel sales under the new Tax Act. Exemptions include cooking gas, CNG, and household kerosene.

The surcharge mirrors a carbon tax, aiming to shift consumption toward clean energy while raising revenue for sustainable development initiatives.
