7 Executive Summary Introduction The reconciliation essentially entails Extractive Companies disclosing or reporting all payments for royalties, profit taxes, dividends, and other material industry related payments while Government Entities report what was collected from the Extractive Companies under each revenue head during the same year. In 2015, there were 481 extractive companies that were identified. To bring this number to a manageable number, a materiality threshold of 3, 000,000 Naira and above of Royalty paid was approved by the NSWG. The table below gives a global summary. Global Summary Absolute Figure % No of Extractive Companies 481 Total Industry Royalty (NGN) 1,267,106,025 Materiality threshold (NGN) 3,000,000 Companies that met threshold Companies below threshold Royalty paid by the 42 companies (NGN) 1,102,238, Royalty paid by companies below threshold (NGN) 164,867, Analysis of Royalty Paid by Companies In compliance with requirement 4.1(a) of the EITI 2016 Standards which requires the NSWG to deliberate and agree on the revenues to be reconciled, NSWG approved three million naira (N3million) and above on royalty payments for 2015 solid minerals sector audit. The rationale for using royalty as a basis for materiality threshold is that it is the only industry specific financial flow that is tied to actual operations in the absence of any defined fiscal regime for the sector S/N Threshold (NGN) Number of Companies Amount Paid (NGN) % Royalty 1 100M and above 3 637,424, M but less than 100M 1 67,580, M but less than 50M ,819, M but less than 10M ,414, Sub Total 42 1,102,238, Less than 3M (Others) ,867, Total 481 1,267,106, P a g e

8 Report Framework The report outline is in line with 2016 EITI Standards. These include: Legal and institutional framework, including allocation of contracts and licenses Exploration and Production Revenue Collection Revenue Allocations Social and Economic Spending Approach: Established the financial and non-financial flows of the extractive companies and the Government Entities responsible for revenue collection. Preliminary analysis of the data Determination of the quantity of mined minerals, volumes of quarried stones and minerals exported. Methodology: Compare what the extractive companies disclose as their payments to the government and what the government disclosed as receipts. In the event of disagreement, we reported the differences. Differences, if material, were subjected to further investigation and reconciliation for the affected stream of flows. Tripartite reconciliation meetings were held between the Government Entities, Extractive Companies and the Independent Reconciler (with NEITI as observer) in Lagos, Port-Harcourt and Abuja to clear all observed differences during reconciliation and obtained signed off from the covered entities. 2 P a g e

9 Objectives of the Assignment a) To report on the quantities of minerals produced, utilized and exported and on the revenue flows amongst the Extractive Companies in the Solid Minerals sector of the economy. b) To undertake special verification work on certain classes of transactions and report on balances payable / receivable at the end of the audit period for certain financial flows. Scope of Work The scope of work is as detailed in the RFP issued by NEITI and in the main report of 2015 Solid Minerals Audit. Challenges to the Assignment The major challenge we encountered while carrying out this assignment were: Late submission of data Lack of cooperation in granting access as well as inadequate records keeping by some extractive companies. Difficulty in locating some of the companies Payments & Receipts: Initial Data before Reconciliation The figures below show material difference between the records from the extractive companies and government agencies before reconciliation. Payment Streams Declared Companies Payment (NGN) Declared Government Revenue (NGN) Differences (NGN) Difference % a b c = (b-a) FIRS 43,235,728, ,593,745, ,358,017, % MID 30,530, ,807, ,277, % MCO 830,449, ,045,779, ,329, % Total 44,096,708, ,747,331, ,650,623, % 2015 Payments and Receipts: Data After Reconciliation We carried out verification and validation and held tripartite reconciliation meetings. After which, the earlier huge difference of over 19.5bn was drastically reduced to about 2.8bn with FIRS being responsible for over 99% of this amount. The high figure of FIRS of above 99% of the total difference is due to the following reasons: Absence of adequate book keeping by some extractive companies Some companies kept their records offshore without copies of such records in the country (Mercury Mining Investment Limited) The position is as set out in the table below. 3 P a g e

11 Unilateral Disclosures These are payments and Receipts below the materiality threshold of three Million Naira approved by NSWG. The disclosures represent payments made to SBIR, LGA, Community/landowners, Federal Ministry of Trade and Investment by companies and receipts by MID and MCO on behalf of government in respect of Royalty, annual service fees and renewals for extractive companies below the threshold. The payments and Receipts were aggregated but not reconciled. Exploration, Production and Export Exploration Following the renewed efforts by the Federal Government to reposition the solid minerals sector, key new developments in exploration and exploitation took place in Total of 1230 new licences were issued; the significant ones are as shown in the table below.

More regular interactive sessions among stakeholders in the industry should be encouraged, emphasizing on global best practice in reporting, records keeping etc. More regular trainings and capacity building workshop should be organized for State Mine officers to better equip them for the discharge of their functions. The State Mines Officers and surveillance team of the MMSD should be more adequately equipped with financial and material resources to efficiently and effectively carry out their responsibilities. 11 P a g e

18 4 The Mineral Resources and Environmental Management Committees (MIREMCOs) at State levels responsible for monitoring and control of Solid Minerals sector are largely non existent or in a state of comatose 5 We noted the approval of 30 Billion Naira by the Federal Executive Council for the development of the solid minerals sector. 6 We observed that most of our minerals ores are exported without beneficiation. This is inimical to economic growth of the sector. 7 It was observed with grave concern the security challenges faced by field officers in the course of discharging their duties. 8 Exports figures reported by some companies were different from those declared by Government Agencies. For example, in year 2015, Coltan mineral resources and Astro mineral resources export data were not captured by NCS. 9 Some companies who featured in the export of solid minerals for 2015 were mainly those below materiality threshold and we were unable to confirm their permit to export solid minerals in line with extant laws Government should consider the revitalization of Mineral Resources and Environmental Management Committees (MIREMCOs) for the development of the Solid Minerals sector. Guided and timely release of funds to achieve its intended objectives. The disbursements of the fund should be accompanied with defaulters clause Federal government should provide enabling environment and encourage the private sector and some government agencies to establish beneficiation plants in the minerals corridors across the country. Private and Public Partnerships may also be encouraged Government should strengthen policing of the mines: particularly, encourage increased collaboration between the Nigerian Police and Nigerian Securities and Civil Defense Corps in providing security in mines. These two government agencies have responsibility to provides security in accordance to their enabling acts; NSCDC Act Section 5(d) (i) (iii) and Police Act Section 4 Part 2. There is need for a strong synergy between the relevant government agencies (MMSD, NCS and CBN) to ensure that all minerals exports including samples have export permit duly issued by MID. There is the need for a more coordinated effort by Government to increase the capacities of the various security/anti-corruption agencies to step the tide of illegal exportation of minerals. Quantity FOB should be used as basis for royalty payments on export of minerals For the purpose of recovery, government should review year 2015 export documents to ensure that royalty payments on solid minerals were adequately confirmed at export point. 12 P a g e

19 10 The activities of unlicensed miners were observed to be prevalent within the industry, leading to loss of government revenue. 11 It was observed with concern the negative impact of multiple taxation on the operational efficiency and growth of the solid minerals sector. For instance, States, Local and other government agencies collect various taxes and levies from operators e.g NIWA and LASEMA collect royalties from companies that are engaged in sand dredging. This hinders their profitability. In order to prevent further loss of revenue, government should encourage unlicensed miners to formalise their activities by obtaining licenses accordingly. In line with Chapter 2 particularly, Sections of the Nigerian Minerals and Mining Act, 2007, Government should also promote: a) Establishment of minerals buying centres to provide market access to small scale miners b) Formation of cooperative societies by artesian miners c) Access to funding and extension services by small scale miners d) Government should encourage big operators to collaborate with artisanal miners in the management of rich mineral deposit areas to maximize mining revenue in these areas A summit should be convened for all stakeholders to discuss and address these issues in line with the existing laws of the federation. a) Section 76 of Nigeria Minerals and Mining Act 2007 bars NIWA (or any other body for that matter) from collecting royalty; yet the provision is flaunted. An appeal court judgment Ref. CA/L/589/2008 dated 05/12/14 reinforced that only MID is legally entitled to collect royalty. Hence NIWA (or any other body) must not only stop collecting royalty but be made to account for the entire amount illegally collected over time. b) The government should make it mandatory for extractive companies to keep a separate account for mining/quarry activities in order to determine the profit or loss emanating from such activities and its contribution to the group account expecially constructions and cement companies. This will enable the tax authority to determine correctly the taxes payable by such mining company and such taxes will be mining specific. 13 P a g e

20 12 We observed that some expatriate companies do not keep their accounts within the country and also prepare their accounts in language other than English e.g Mercury mining investment. The company is owned by the Chinese and on Benin Ore road, Ofusu, Ondo State. The company had not been keeping its activities records and books in the company premises but in China. No evidence of Tax payment. Any company that does not keep its books and correct records in Nigeria and does not prepare its accounts in English language should be sanctioned accordingly by MID and investigated by FIRS for tax evasion. 14 P a g e
