Background of the Study

Tax incentives are essential tools used by governments to attract investments in critical sectors such as oil and gas. In Nigeria, the government provides various tax incentives to oil and gas companies to encourage exploration, production, and investment in infrastructure development. These incentives can include tax holidays, accelerated depreciation, and exemptions from certain duties (Adedeji & Emmanuel, 2023).

Oando Plc, one of Nigeria’s leading oil and gas companies, has benefited from these incentives to support its operations. The company's investments in upstream and downstream activities are partly influenced by the country's tax policies. However, while tax incentives aim to attract foreign and domestic investments in the sector, there are concerns about their effectiveness in driving sustainable economic growth and increasing government revenue (Onyema & Olanrewaju, 2024).

This study aims to evaluate the effect of tax incentives on investments in Nigeria's oil and gas industry, focusing on Oando Plc’s investment patterns and how these incentives influence the company’s operations and Nigeria’s economic landscape.

Statement of the Problem

The oil and gas industry is capital-intensive and requires significant investment to ensure continued exploration and production. Tax incentives are designed to make Nigeria a more attractive destination for investment. However, the long-term impact of these incentives on actual investment inflows and their overall effect on the national economy has been debated. Oando Plc’s experience provides an opportunity to assess the effectiveness of tax incentives in driving investments, promoting infrastructure, and generating revenue for the government (Abdullahi & Sulaimon, 2023).

This study addresses the gap in understanding the specific effect of tax incentives on investment patterns within the Nigerian oil and gas sector, particularly focusing on Oando Plc.

Objectives of the Study

  1. To evaluate the impact of tax incentives on investments in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
  2. To assess how tax incentives have influenced Oando Plc's investment decisions and business strategies.
  3. To provide recommendations for improving tax incentive policies to drive more sustainable investments in the oil and gas sector.

Research Questions

  1. How do tax incentives impact investment decisions in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry?
  2. How have tax incentives influenced Oando Plc’s operations and business growth?
  3. What improvements can be made to tax incentive policies to increase investments in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector?

Research Hypotheses

  1. H₀: Tax incentives do not significantly impact investment decisions in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
  2. H₀: Tax incentives do not significantly affect Oando Plc’s investment strategies and operations.
  3. H₀: Improving tax incentive policies will not significantly increase investments in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study will focus on Oando Plc and its investments in the oil and gas industry between 2015 and 2025. Limitations include possible biases in company reports and the difficulty in isolating the effects of tax incentives from other investment factors.
