I don't understand why some people are using Jonathan's regime as a yardstick for measuring the Buhari's incompetence? This argument of whether there was scarcity or not during Jonathan's time is senseless! If there was scarcity during Jonathan's time, must we have it now in Buhari's time? Can't we youths of this country think straight for once? Must we continue to allow these old, good-for-nothing and God-forsaking so called leaders continue to plunge us into perpetual pain and emotional torture? You guys should stop being silly with this useless argument and let's think of the way forward. Useless set of people thinking of who inflicted pain most on them.

Excellent point

But the problem is most Nigerians don't like the solution to fuel crisis which is deregulation of the downstream sector.

Gej tried it, they protested.

Bubu tried it, they protested

Bolster:
This is fat big lie.

How can Independent Marketers be running their petrol stations at a loss for the past 8 months and we have not heard of it neither was there their usual strike action.

900 filling stations running their businesses at a loss for 8 straight months? Are they that patriotic? Are they PMS Santa Claus?

Because if they close down their stations, they would lose more financially

APC lopsided corruption fight, Buhari pretends to be fighting corruption while the cabals from his cronies who control the affairs of NNPC are too corrupt, thus increasing the sufferings of Nigerians. A litre of petrol for 150/litre. Everybody wants to enrich himself at the expense of the masses.

The only reason there was scarcity those years was because of subsidy and remember u paid below market price for those products brought in then. I bet if buhari didn't increase the price there would HV been scarcity before now. Buharis only saving grace is that ppl allowed the price increase which led to increase in cost of living . but kachuku said price will decrease after 6 months but it almost a yr plus since that statement and the price is still 145.

tribalistseun:
In a reasonable country, Baru would have resigned or thrown in jail for 25 years

Not 25 years please.
26 years will be appropriate. One year for each billion dollars stolen in NNPC under Petroleum minister Buhari.
The theft, looting and corruption under Buhari is without comparison.
Without comparison.

Are you saying that Buhari has not deregulated the fuel price?
So what was he doing when he raised the price from N40 promised to N145 now?
Ayam not understanding, please.

While Jonathan failed 6 consecutive Christmas in providing fueling. PMB has bo single Christmas scarcity.


It is hard to believe IPMAN will sell fuel at a loss for 8 straight months. While their allegations should be looked into as it makes no sense why NNPC will be sabotaging its own efforts in ensuring fuel availability.

Not same epitome of corruption called NNPC again.?

Correction, it was a partial removal of subsidy.

The problem is full deregulation is a hot political potato, long term benefits notwithstanding

No one believed that 40joke except prof David - West

Many of the people who were shouting change change believed Buhari was going to sell fuel at N40 since he didn’t disown the promise.
That failure is corruption, broadly speaking.

i guess you have made up your mind to always complain rather than to look for a solution

…As investigation shows ex-depot price of N133.38 per litre

By Adewale Sanyaolu

The Lagos State chapter of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), led by its Chairman, Alhaji Alanamu Balogun, last week, threatened to withdraw its services across Lagos State and parts of Ogun State, effective December 11, due to irregular fuel supply at NNPC’s Ejigbo satellite depot.

It said over 900 filling stations will be shut down, which might lead to fuel crisis during the Christmas and New Year festivities.

IPMAN said it took the decision because its members had been running their fuel stations at a loss over the past eight months due to NNPC’s default in the bulk purchase agreement it signed with IPMAN to sell fuel to its members at N133.28k per litre.

According to IPMAN, a litre of fuel (PMS) is being sold to its members by DAPMAN at N141, apart from running costs, bank charges and other expenses which made it impossible for operators to sell a litre of fuel at controlled price of N145, rather they sell N146 per litre.

The association alleged that while the NNPC had refused to sell fuel to its members regularly, it is diverting the supplies to DAPMAN at a price of N117 per litre and DAPMAN in turn, is selling to IPMAN members at N141 per litre.

“We believe that NNPC is doing this to deliberately cause fuel crisis because it could not control DAPMAN not to inflate prices beyond government’s fixed prices,” it said.

Meanwhile, Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)’s claim that ex-depot price of petrol remains at N133.38 per litre, may have been faulted by Daily Sun findings across some depots in Apapa, Lagos.

The NNPC, in a statement released yesterday, maintained that the ex-depot petrol price of N133.38 per litre and the pump price of N143/N145 per litre have not changed as the corporation has enough stock of fuel to ensure seamless supply and distribution of products across the country during the Yultide.

‘‘The NNPC has once again emphasised that there are no plans to increase the prices of petroleum products both at the ex-depot level and pump price ahead of the forthcoming Yuletide,” the statement said.

But a document exclusively obtained by Daily Sun on the market survey position for petroleum products yesterday across some depots in Apapa, showed that eight dealers sold petrol above the ex-depot price of N133.38 approved by NNPC.

A breakdown of the ex-depot price of petrol showed that Fatgbems, Obat, Sahara, Techno and Wosab sold at N143 per litre yesterday, while NIPCO and Stallonire sold for N140 per litre and the D Jones N142 per litre.

IPMAN implored President Muhammadu Buhari, the National Assembly, the DPR, the Minister of Petroleum, Lagos State Governor, Mr. Ambode Akinwunmi, the Inspector General of Police and other security agencies to call the NNPC and DAPMAN to order, or the IPMAN will withdraw services and shut down all stations in Lagos State.

NNPC enjoined motorists and other users of petroleum products to disregard trending rumours of an impending fuel price hike, saying it has the full commitment of all downstream stakeholders, including petroleum marketers and industry unions, to cooperate in achieving zero fuel scarcity this season and beyond.

The corporation advised motorists not to engage in panic buying or indulge in the dangerous practice of stocking petroleum products in jerry cans at home.

NNPC assured that its downstream subsidiary companies, namely, the Petroleum Products Marketing Company (PPMC) and NNPC Retail Limited are fully geared up to ensure that motorists enjoy uninterrupted access to petrol throughout the nation.

wake up plz, the only time GEJ govt suffered and fuel scarcity was teh last few months of his tenure because certain man with big google glass was screaming No to subcidy nor B sooooo

Nothing was changed in terms of subsidy as a matter of fact, the Subsidy paid now would be twice that of what GEJ paid, just wait when the records would be open to you and me!You tell me one c ountry in the world where you can land PMS for less than N300

Bubu knew he cant do anything rather lied to Nigerians that they did it and somehow twisted it for few people to believe teh change mantra.Now ask yourself, where in the world can you import petrol and sell for less than N250 to N300? what country?

9jakohai:


Because if they close down their stations, they would lose more financially

Actually no. If they close their stations they would stop the hemorrhaging of profit. If they continue trading and losing money soon they won't have any equitynto even trade anymore. So making consistent loss for 8 months doesn't fly especially here in Nigeria where profits rules everything.
