NNPC Crashes Diesel Price Nationwide by 42%


http://nnpcgroup.com/PublicRelations/NNPCinthenews/tabid/92/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/806/NNPC-Crashes-Diesel-Price-Nationwide-by-42.aspx


Price of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO), also known as Diesel, has crashed to about 42% nationwide, a huge downslide over the last six months, following key strategic interventions by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

It would be recalled that in the first quarter 2017, retail prices of AGO, which is one of the deregulated products, shot to an all-time high of N300/litre in major demand centres across the country.

Such unpleasant situation placed a huge burden on truck drivers, who need the product for transporting their vehicles; the nation’s manufacturing sector, which requires it to run its operations as well as on the masses, who need it for household power generation.

However, following strategic intervention efforts by the NNPC towards sustained improvement in the supply of the diesel, the product’s retail prices as at the end of May 2017 ranged from N175 to N200 across the country (a significant price drop of about 42%), while ex-depot prices also dropped to between N135 and N155.

Shedding more light on this remarkable achievement, NNPC Spokesperson, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, said some of the Corporation’s strategic interventions in this regard include improving the supply of AGO and remodeling of the product distribution to address sufficiency issues across the country.

“Since January this year, we have worked very hard with relevant stakeholders to improve distribution from refinery depots, by implementing a robust loading programme,” Ughamadu affirmed.

Also, in its quest to enhance efficient distribution of AGO, the Corporation was able to resuscitate its critical pipelines and depots in places such as Atlas Cove-Mosimi, Port-Harcourt Refinery-Aba and Kaduna Refinery-Kano. Efforts are also ongoing to revamp and commission other critical pipelines across the country.

Another key intervention that has enhanced supply and distribution of diesel, the NNPC Spokesperson noted, was the Corporation’s robust engagement with critical downstream stakeholders where salient issues were raised and duly addressed. These stakeholders include: Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) as well as Independent Petroleum Marketers.

Furthermore, as a result of consistent positive engagement with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), NNPC equally extended the expansion of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) Foreign Exchange Intervention Scheme to accommodate Diesel and Aviation Fuel.

The general public is hereby assured that the Corporation would continue to ensure seamless supply and distribution of diesel and other petroleum products across the country to make the lives of Nigerians better.

A remarkable achievement is when you meet and exceed your promises. Is this what you promised us APC? Have you even met the promises you made not to talk of exceeding it?

I noticed the price crash as well which will be a temporary relief for sectors using diesel to power their generators.

With this news which translate to cost operation reduction, I expect price of commodities to crash a bit coupled with naira appreciation but corrupt and greedy people won't allow such to happen.

Also: price of cooking gas has crashed to N3200 for 12kg, N1700 for 6kg against N4500 and N2400 respectively before. Hmmm nice one

See the problem I have with APC led government. How much was Diseil when you took over government, somthing that was cheaper than N135 when took over government and went up to N300 Now you tell me that you are seeing progress.that APC is working

How much was a Dollar when you took over from GEJ? was it not less than 190? now doller went up high to N500 and now selling a little below N4000 and you will come here to tell me Osibanjo is working. Since Buhari travled for medical treatment the economy has improved and Naira has appriciated.

What a shame a deciet. That means some elements in APC are really trying to sabotage PMB to make it look like he is the problem. Osibanjo has been moving around campaigning in other to outsmart the Northeners. We are watching

What's all this grammar NNPC is saying; ain't those part of your core functions?

Somebody is just trying to receive accolades.

I mean if you could do all these things before to ensure it doesn't crash, why didn't you do it?

After your senior ranks have been made billionaires and multi multi millionaires, you're now trying to put things right; the same thing with CBN with the naira and USD; Mtchew corruption everywhere.

Anyway it's good news on a Monday morning.

Yes because of the exchange rate under your GEJ.

He had 2.2m barrels to export per day on crude oil and each barrel was sold over $80.

Then the CBN had enough dollars to sell to banks and end users, which stabilized the naira below N200 to $1.

We import of AGO, hence is naira is weak, prices of imported products would drop.

If naira appreciates to N300 to $1, expect prices to drop further.

It's a 'dollarised' system we operate
