Fuel Scarcity: FG Prioritizes Products Distribution by THEWRITERSMIND: 2:38am On Apr 01, 2016 |
In an effort to end the recurrent fuel shortages, particularly of premium motor spirit, PMS (petrol) being experienced in the country, the Federal Government has declared a state of emergency for petroleum products distribution. This comes even as private operators in the country now have the responsibility to bring in 60 percent of the scarce commodity in the second quarter, Q2 import allocations According to Vanguard reports, for Q2, the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, PPPRA 44% allocation to Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association, DAPPMA; 40% NNPC/PPMC; and the balance of 16% to Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, MOMAN. Confirming the developments, the Commercial Director, PPMC, Mr. Justin Ezeala, admitted to the drop in NNPC/PPMC new import allocation, saying that “it is meant to free NNPC to import only for itself, instead of importing for everybody as we have been doing since this year.” He also admitted that the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Group Managing Director, NNPC, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, had “directed that everything related to petroleum distribution must be treated as an emergency.” To this end, “beginning from tomorrow (today), we have confirmations for cargoes lined up to be received in-country. Petroleum cargoes are to be treated as essential commodities, with all the regulatory agencies – DPR, PPRA, put on the alert. “We have put in place a process to receive them in terms of logistics and cut short on all the bureaucracies, as everything will be treated with emergency in order to end the fuel crisis. ‘To this end, we have also kept trans-shipment vessels in Warri, Calabar depots for easy reach to the northern and southern parts of the country. “Today, we also held a meeting with officers of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC, to join forces with the Nigeria Police to monitor and follow products distribution from the depots to the retail outlets to cut short on sharp practices. “We also met with the national executives of the Petroleum Tanker Drivers, PTD, to alert them to the sense of the emergency, as it takes about four days to take products from Lagos to Abuja. “We are also planning to re-stream the Systems 2B Pipeline, which transports refined products from Atlas Cove reception Jetty to Mosimi, Ibadan and Ilorin.” http://www.financialwatchngr.com/2016/04/01/fuel-scarcity-fg-prioritizes-products-distribution/ 1 Like

Re: Fuel Scarcity: FG Prioritizes Products Distribution by bishopkay: 8:15am On Apr 01, 2016 |
it is this hypocrisy I hate in Nigeria, especially the sai Baba chanters. Y'all have been calling for Kachikwu's head over the fuel scarcity and leaving the "Minister of petroleum " who is on a travelling spree. Now the man (Kachickwu) propounds an idea that might just work and you are shouting sai Baba. I hate people that are allergic to the truth and that's what some of us are doing!!! 13 Likes |

At last, we will be relieved of the exploitation by our independent marketers. Imagine someone traveling for about 100KM to get fuel in the outskirts of major town @ about #170-180 per liter, just because the marketers in town decided to strike a deal with dem in the villages because they know they cannot sell above government pump price in the towns. 1 Like |

Justin Ezeala, admitted to the drop in NNPC/PPMC new import allocation, saying that “it is meant to free NNPC to import only for itself, instead of importing for everybody as we have been doing since this year.” The bolded part is the reason for the intense scarcity. NNPC couldn't meet the 72% fuel importation quota they earlier assigned themselves, this is what happens when government tries to do the job of the private sector. |

The last time a lawyer was power minister there was nationwide power outage. That man was Chief Bola Ige. He was eventually moved to the justice ministry where he belonged. Fast forward almost 2 decades later, another lawyer is not only power minister but also works and housing minister and what did we experience yesterday? Nationwide blackout. Same old, same old. Talk of square pegs in round fvcking holes. 1 Like |
