On January 18, 2015 the GEJ government reduced pump price of PMS from N97 to N87 per litre on account of falling oil prices in the international market. This was after the government was accused repeatedly by the then opposition (APC) of insensitive to the plight of Nigerians with the falling oil prices. At that that time Oil prices hovered between $55 - $60 per barrel. Now prices have plummeted to all time low of $43.66 per barrel, the obvious thing for the same APC that accused PDP of insensitive to the plight of the masses, ought to do is to live above board by following suit the same policy of adjusting prices downwards. Simply put, if at the average price of crude of $58, the GEJ government reduced pump price to N87, then the APC government should reduce pump price to N66 per litre since crude prices have come down to $43.66. This is just simple proportion or extrapolation. Please, all change advocates/chanters should prevail on Mr. President and Vice including the National Economic Council (NEC) to do the needful. Just like GEJ humbly reduced pump price from N97 to N87 per litre, let all Nigerians join this call on the FG of Mohammadu Buhari to reduce pump price to N66 per litre in line with the falling oil prices.

APC has no idea about governance but unfortunately, the national cake they fought to control is getting sour. They may end up disappointed and failing. Still waiting for the N5k allowee for 3months now. |

Validated: I wonder where Prof Tam David-west is to calculate for us what the pump price of fuel shhould be like he did during the days of GEJ. Even the now corruption exposed Fashola was also ranting then.These APC fools are the worst hypocrites in the world. |

If GEJ didn't condone massive corruption it could have been possible At this point as long as we still import and pay subsidy, the maths does not add up Price of refining crude has not changed and the companies delivering petroleum products back to Nigeria won't reduce their prices And there's still subsidy to pay |
Re: Opinion: Why FG MUST Reduce Pump Price To N66 Per Litre by Validated: 6:49am On Aug 25, 2015 |
DaBullIT: Price of crude represents 80% of cost - Tam David West If above is right, then obviously there is need to adjust the pump price after all subsidy was meant to cover the cost of crude and not associated costs. In any case, with the crude cost down, the associated cost would also reduce relatively, since most of the associated costs are based on the crude cost. |

It should be reduced to 25 naira. Afterall, a barrel of crude oil is now less than 40 naira |
Re: Opinion: Why FG MUST Reduce Pump Price To N66 Per Litre by DaBullIT(m): 7:09am On Aug 25, 2015 |
Validated: You got it wrong Cheaper crude does not imply cheaper cost Cost is set Which means Nigeria gives more crude to refiners to cover the costs of refining and transporting which means less petrol for Nigerians It's inversely or directly proportional not sure I'm not an economist but let's say : You have laborers who are supposed to collect #2000 per week as the negotiated labor cost But instead of money you pay them with 5 cups of rice = #2000 @ 400#/cup If price of rice falls to 50 naira per cup, instead of 5 cups Laborer will demand 40 cups the already agreed price Otherwise you'll have to renegotiate or look for another laborer That's logic |
