CBN clarifies position on converting foreign currency

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) had issued new rules clarifying that commercial, merchant, and non-interest banks (CMNIBs) should let holders convert their internationally tradable foreign currency (ITTC) balances in designated domiciliary accounts into the local currency, the naira, at any time, using the prevailing exchange rate.

The bank disclosed that all conversions must be fully disclosed and reported as part of the bank’s exchange rate requirements.

In February 2024, the apex bank reaffirmed that it would not coerce domiciliary account holders to convert their holdings into naira.

    NNPC SLASHES PETROL PRICE TO N925/LITRE IN LAGOS, N965/LITRE IN ABUJA

    NNPC SLASHES PETROL PRICE TO N925/LITRE IN LAGOS, N965/LITRE IN ABUJA The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has reduced the retail price of petrol at its outlets to N925 per litre in Lagos and N965 per litre in Abuja. NNPC dropped the price of the product from N1,025 per litre in Lagos and N1,040 in Abuja. TheCable observed that the petrol price dropped to N925 per litre at NNPC retail outlets in Ago Palace Way, Lagos. A pump attendant told TheCable that the NNPC outlet at Apple Junction reduced its petrol price on Monday afternoon to N925. However, at the NNPC retail branch at College Road, Ogba, the price of the product stood at N1,015. The pump price of petrol also dropped to N1,015 — from N1,025 per litre at the Mobile filling station, at College Road. In Abuja, NNPC also slashed the petrol price to N965 at its Lugbe outlet. At the MRS filling station on Kubwa road, the pump price dropped to N935 per litre from N1,070. In Ibadan, NNPC reduced the price of the product to N985 per litre — from N1,015 per litre — at the Agodi retail outlet. The development comes after a reduction in the product’s ex-depot prices in the downstream sector. On December 19, Dangote Petroleum Refinery reduced the ex-depot price of its petrol to N899.50 per litre. Similarly, the refinery partnered with MRS Oil Nigeria Plc filling stations to sell petrol at N935 per litre at its retail outlets. On December 21, the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) said the NNPC reduced its ex-depot price to N899 per litre in Lagos.

    PETROL SELLS N935 PER LITRE FROM TODAY – IPMAN

    PETROL SELLS ₦‎935 PER LITRE FROM TODAY – IPMAN The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has said that petrol is going to sell at N935 per litre beginning from today based on the latest arrangement with the Dangote Petroleum Refinery. IPMAN’s National President, Maigandi Garima, said the reduction in Dangote refinery’s ex-depot price for petrol and the uniform arrangement being put in place, would enable marketers to sell at N935 in their outlets nationwide, incurring a cost of N36 on logistics. “Dangote refinery has brought another new arrangement of loading and pricing by which marketers would pay a fixed ex-depot price of N899.50k. “The refinery is running a programme whereby it wants the fuel consumption across the country to be at the same rate. We are expecting the new arrangement to kick-start on Monday. Previously, the loading price was N970 per litre, but from Monday, petrol prices will drop to N935,” Garima stated. The association also stated that over 30,000 of its members are set to commence petrol loading from the Dangote Petroleum Refinery and the Port Harcourt Refining Company following the reduction of the ex-depot price of the product to N899 per litre. This came as it was observed that the pump price of petrol dropped on Sunday to between N950 and N980 per litre in a few filling stations in Lagos including MRS, BOVAS and NNPC. However, the cost was above N1,000 per litre in many other outlets in the state. But IPMAN promised on Sunday that the price would drop further, as it said the cost of petrol would reduce to N935 per litre in more filling stations by Monday (today) in view of Dangote refinery’s new arrangement. Similarly, retail outlet owners under the auspices of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria have begun registration with MRS filling station to lift Dangote petrol at N935 per litre. The IPMAN National Publicity officer, Chinedu Ukadike, and the PETROAN President, Billy Gillis-Harry, disclosed these during separate exclusive interviews The development came after intense pricing competition in the nation’s downstream sector, which triggered a price war between NNPCL and Dangote due to a reduction in the ex-depot price to N899 per litre. On Saturday, the NNPCL, in a surprising development, slashed petrol prices by 12 per cent, to the delight of Nigerians and marketers. This decision, coming days after the Dangote Refinery reduced its price to N899, was confirmed by the Petroleum Products Retail Outlet Owners Association of Nigeria in a statement on Saturday. Before now, petrol prices had consistently increased, causing customers to worry that the price hike might be sustained during the festive season. The reduction in price to N935 in Lagos confirms projections by marketers Providing further updates on the preparations for product lifting, the IPMAN publicity officer stated that marketers are getting ready to start loading petrol at a reduced price, as the national oil company has updated its pricing on the purchase portal. Ukadike also said that the competition for market share between NNPCL and Dangote is beneficial for Nigerians because, in the end, it will reveal the true cost of PMS production and the expenses incurred in logistics. According to him, the price war is central to a deregulated oil sector. He said, “NNPCL has changed their price at their portal. It means that everyone who has access to that portal can be able to request and pay for products. Once you pay, you will called to the depot to pick up your products. Yes, they have changed the price on their portal.” He continued, “For us, the reduced price remains a welcome development as that is the beauty of a deregulated sector. You know, when there are multiple sources of petroleum products,…
