REFINERS ANGRY AS MARKETERS DUMP DANGOTE REFINERY FOR IMPORTED FUEL

Crude Oil Refiners Association of Nigeria has kicked against a move by petroleum marketers to import Premium Motor Spirit (Petrol) despite the availability of Dangote Refinery Petrol.

Publicity Secretary of CORAN, Eche Idoko, made this known in a statement condemning the move.

His comments come as a report emerged that 141 million liters of PMS are being conveyed to Nigeria by oil vessels following the full deregulation of the downstream oil sector by the Federal Government.

Recall that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company on Monday announced a fresh price list for its retail outlets nationwide upon the lifting of Dangote Petrol.

According to the NNPCL, the price adjustments will see petrol sold between N950 to N1,019.22 per liter depending on the location.

This comes after NNPCL trucks successfully lifted Petrol from Dangote Refinery on Sunday.

The development had created a price controversy between Dangote Refinery and NNPC. NNPC had insisted that it bought Dangote Petrol at a per liter pump price of N898, but the 650,000 barrels per day Lagos-based refinery had disagreed with the state-owned firm.

However, in the latest move, petrol marketers, who seemed unsatisfied with the price regime of Dangote Refinery, had to consider the importation of petrol.

Reacting to the development, CORAN alleged that some imported petrol was substandard and was blended in Malta or Togo.

“So I would assure you this regime will pay them way better than the regime of importing petroleum products, where they sell to us, substandard products blended in Malta or Togo and imported into our country,” Idoko stated.

He called for backward integration, saying some were afraid that Dangote would become a monopoly.

“The fear marketers are having is that Dangote will become a monopoly, but that has been taken care of by Dangote subscribing to our association.

“With the Petroleum Industry Act in place and all the agencies in play, there is no way that Dangote can become a monopoly”, he said.

Earlier, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority had declared that imported petrol would be subjected to three tests before being allowed to be sold across the country.

NMDPRA spokesperson, George Ene-Ita, disclosed this amid petrol import concerns.

He stressed that marketers with import licenses were free to import PMS but noted that the products must be subjected to three major tests by the agency.

The President of Dangote Group, Aliko Dangote had earlier in May 2024 stated that the commencement of his refinery will end fuel importation in Nigeria.

    NNPC PORTAL SHUTDOWN, DELAYS PETROL SUPPLY – MARKETERS

    NNPC PORTAL SHUTDOWN, DELAYS PETROL SUPPLY – MARKETERS Oil marketers have said that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited portal used to purchase petrol has been shut against dealers, making it impossible for them to apply for the commodity purchase. They said marketers are still awaiting over 90 million litres of petrol from the state-owned company. This is valued at about N79bn. The PUNCH recalls that amid marketers’ complaints over their inability to order petrol, the NNPC confirmed the shutdown of its purchasing portal to our correspondent last month, giving its reasons. According to NNPC spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, the company shut the portal due to a significant backlog. Soneye explained that the shutdown became necessary to stop NNPC from holding marketers’ capital for too long. “We have a significant backlog to address. The closure is intended to prevent us from holding marketers’ funds for an extended period,” Soneye had explained. He, however, assured marketers that the portal would be reopened after the backlog had been reduced. Soneye explained that the shutdown became necessary to stop NNPC from holding marketers’ capital for too long. “We have a significant backlog to address. The closure is intended to prevent us from holding marketers’ funds for an extended period,” Soneye had explained. He, however, assured marketers that the portal would be reopened after the backlog had been reduced. It will be reopened once the backlog has been sufficiently reduced. We are working to address it as soon as possible,” he told our correspondent. Marketers who spoke with our correspondent confirmed that NNPC was expediting actions to clear the backlogs as of the weekend. Though NNPC did not disclose the value of the ‘huge backlogs’, independent marketers said they have over 2,000 tickets yet to be cleared with NNPC. In an interview, the National Publicity Secretary of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, Chinedu Ukadike, said the association is still waiting for the portal’s opening. “They are on it, our marketers are still loading petrol from the NNPC. I can’t confirm the price now because the portal is still shut down. “We have more than 2,000 tickets for 45,000 litres (of petrol). That is 45,000 multiplied by 2,000, you can now know the number of million litres it will be. This is just an estimate, you know I don’t work with NNPC and I don’t know what is on their system,” Ukadike stated. He disclosed that a 45,000-litre truckload of PMS is around N39.5m, making N79bn when multiplied by 2,000. The Petroleum Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria also confirmed that its members could not access the NNPC purchasing portal. PETROAN President, Billy Gillis-Harry, confirmed this in a phone conversation with our correspondent. “The portal shutdown affects us too, we are all buying from NNPC,” he said briefly. Meanwhile, the marketers noted that they have since been patronising private depot owners, who sell petrol to them at a premium. This, they said, informed why the product is more expensive in their filling stations than in outlets owned by the NNPC and the major marketers. Our correspondent gathered that the marketers usually bid for PMS through the NNPC portal. According to them, payments will be made through the same channel while the marketer waits for months to get the product. Independent marketers daid they paid for petrol but were not supplied after three months. During an interview in January, the National Vice President of IPMAN, Hammed Fashola, made a similar allegation which was denied by Soneye. Fashola had asked the Federal Government to review the current distribution pattern to give priority to IPMAN members. Fashola said, “We buy products from NNPC cash and carry. We don’t enjoy any credit facility with the NNPC. There are times when we…

    AGAIN, JOE IGBOKWE, TINUBU SUPPORTER CRIES: ‘WHY IS OUR NAIRA WEAK?’

    AGAIN, JOE IGBOKWE, TINUBU SUPPORTER CRIES: “WHY IS OUR NAIRA WEAK?” A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has again lamented the outcome of the economic policies of the President Ahmed Bola Tinubu+led administration. This is the third time in weeks that Igbokwe, a Lagos- based south easterner, would criticise the economic interventions of the president. In early September, the APC chieftain had ranted about the new electricity tariff in the country urging the president to intervene. In the Facebook post, Igbokwe had pleaded with the president to “please look into the new electricity tariff in Nigeria. “It will kill businesses if the government does not act as quickly as possible. I have a small office in Surulere with about 7 units of AC. “We used to buy 300 plus units for N20,0000. Yesterday we bought N20,000 worth of units and it lasted for just one day. They call it band A group. I pray that we review this”, he said. Last week, he said the fuel crisis has shown that those who would rescue Nigeria have not been born. But Monday, Igbokwe again returned to Facebook querying while the Nigerian currency is among the weakest in Africa and beyond despite our wealth. “Please can anybody help me to answer this question? Why is the Nigerian Currency among the weakest in Africa and beyond despite our wealth, size, population, education, material resources, industry, landmass, good weather etc?”, he asked. His comment has already sparked reactions online with many responders directing him to his “political godfather*. One of them, Ahmed Anifowoshe, said “I’m sure you should have access to your boss, Mr John Doe, better direct your query to him. He in his wisdom devalued the Naira on the orders of his paymasters the world bank and the IMF. Another respondent said, “Mr man the answer is simply bad leadership which you have been part of, supporting evil to destroy the country and economy for ur own selfish interest.”
