TIMELINE: Bad Fuel, Foul Fuel, Off-Spec — Nigeria’s History With Bad Petrol by Omicron007: 3:58pm On Feb 11, 2022 |
On Tuesday, the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) said it found methanol above national specifications in the imported gasoline. The regulator said efforts to remove the contaminated products from circulation caused long queues at many filling stations. He said all the suppliers of the contaminated petrol had been put on notice for “remedial action”.

The only way to stop this is to refine fuel at home And the only way to refine fuel at home is by incentivising it...by removing subsidies and allowing the market to control the price.... We refine fuel in bad refineries because refining them in standard refineries means we have to spend more on subsidizing the fuel. So, to keep subsidy costs low...we refine fuel the substandard way. So, subsidy should go. If it had gone in 1993, the above three incidents won't have happened, but no, we chose cheap fuel over sensible advice. Good evening SAUCE 1.Fuel subsides in Nigeria, bad for the economy, lifeblood of politicians. 6 Likes |

backbencher: This is very appauling! The state owned oil company cannot refine our crude oil. The company cannot manage the downstream sector too. They are now shifting the goal post and throwing blame games here and there. 6 Likes |

Omicron007: Well, yeah, because landing cost of fuel is N282 and we sell that fuel at N163. And we have to pay the cost of the losses from our crude oil revenue. Also, the difference between the landing cost of fuel, and the cost at the pump keeps on growing and growing and growing. And yes, it is because we all want cheap fuel I hate PDP and APC, but if GEJ and now Buhari have flirted with the idea of removing fuel subsidy, and not only them, but all our leaders for several decades, something is up. Same way we wrecked the old refinereis...by selling petrol at a loss, so that we can help the poor. And yes, I put the blame on APC. That is no way to run the oil sector. Thank you, and good evening. As far as I am concerend, the more we keep this subsidy, the more we lose out. For ten years, I have not supported subsidy retention. If you want good quality fuel from NNPC, then privatise the thing as Atiku suggested in 2019, and allow them sell fuel at a profit, so that they have the money to fix things. OR Pay a tax, everyone pays a tax...from richest to beggar on the street, to raise enough income to fund subsides. P.S Calling me an APC or PDP supporter, or excusing NNPC misses the point. 12 Likes 2 Shares |

SarkinYarki: Yes, because if you want premium service from any company, you have to let them make a profit. We knocked down the price of petrol below the cost of priducing it for several decades now. Naturally NNPC was not earning the profit it needed to maintain and fix refinereis, and naturally corruption and sabotage came in...because NNPC was getting free government money in the name of subsidy. That's why Dangote should be allowed to sell at a profit...not because he is a good man, but because he needs to sell at a profit to keep his refinery running well. If you owned a refinery, (and I am interested in your answer) and refined fuel at a cost OF n300 and sold it at government price of N40 per liter....and government paid a subsidy that does not cover your resulting loss....how would you feel? We wrecked our refinereis by running them at a loss, and we still want to wreck the priivate refinereis by forcing them to run at a loss. GEJ wanted to remove subsidy. We did not listen. Buhari tool advantage of our anger to get into power. Now he too has to face the truth. We are still persisting in our dreams. I hope when PDP comes back in 2023 they too would face the truth. Enough is enogh. 12 Likes |

Nigeria have come a long way with this nagging problem, but how come the NNPC under this regime who claimed it's the sole importer of refined crude oil only for it to start blaming "MRS, Emadeb/Hyde/AY Maikifi/Brittania-U Consortium, Oando, Duke Oil, and an NNPC subsidiary"? 6 Likes |

The speed at which NNPC comes up with new estimates, make one believe that the adulterated petrol is part of a wider plan to siphon off more money. NNPC may spend N201bn to clean 170.25m litres of dirty fuel |

Hmmmm..... let's stop the blame game and focus on way forward. The earlier the better. Guess the point of origin should be unravel too and necessary action taken too. |

The fact that we consider it ok to import everything including petrol is very bad, it actually projects to the world that Nigerians are a lazy bunch that cannot produce anything, that all we can do is drill oil and sell. 2 Likes |

backbencher: Real leaders would have listened to the experts and removed fuel subsidies. The fact that two elected officials couldn't use the democratic mandate is an indication of the quality of leaders in Nigeria. GEJ cabinet begs him to remove oil subsidies over a two-week public debate in 2021 and the coward went against the expert judgement to support vested interest. In the 1970s Magaret Thatcher took on the coal mines union and won because she had a plan to replace coal with gas and nuclear technology. |
