Crude oil price crashed from $70 to $30.


That's more than 50% reduction.

Price of fuel was 145 naira....now it should be about 70 naira.

We don't buy crude, rather we sell it and buy the finished product. And there is no indication that price of finished product dropped by 50%.

The crash in oil price will mean less income to the government, hence it is not a factor to use in determining price of the finished product.

I'm at a loss how we can have crude oil all these years and still cannot process it. With all the PhD and graduates we have in this country.

Processing crude oil is the easiest thing anyone can do. It's a simple process of fractional distillation. Even militants do it in the creeks to sell diesels. However, it's capital intensive. Imagine how many billions of dollars Dangote has spent in his refinery. The Government just needs to build a working refinery that can serve the nation.

Another pointless political move by the government.

The current low oil price presents a fantastic opportunity for the govt to do away with the subsidy regime for good. But instead, they choose to still modulate / control and peg the price. What then happens when oil price rises again?

You got it spot on. The FG missed a golden opportunity in 2015 and they are throwing away another opportunity now. Instead of announcing a reduction in pump price and fixing the price, it should be announcing a complete deregulation of the market.

The truth is that as with the subsidy regime, this reduction benefits the middle class who have cars more because transporters will likely not reduce bus fares. They will just pocket a higher margin.

And what happens if crude should hit $65again? Does the price go back to N145? Or does it go to the commensurate price of N200?

The FG should deregulate the damn thing and let the significantly higher efficiency of the private sector take over. When did we ever have a fear that diesel would be scarce. It was not possible because its a deregulated product. Since kerosene was deregulated, I have not heard of it being scarce!

This is a stupid political move meant to pander to voters. We need a government that can take the hard decisions for the Long term benefit of the country.

I don't even understand the functionality of labor union, the price was approximately reduced by 50% globally and we are celebrating #125 here. Scam

I will expect they will retain the price, save and use it to subsidize in future, rather than coming back later to tell us when the price goes up that the subsidy is not sustainable.

This might cruelly have been a sensible alternative. However for me, they should just simply deregulate the market.

In compliance with the Federal Government directive after it's weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) reviewed pump price all over the country to N125/litre. This is contained in a press release via their Twitter handle. Screenshot below:

Still too high considering the current crude oil price and reduction introduced in other zone...!!

Reduction should have been atleast in the range of N80 - N90 per litre but Nigerians been docile would still shout and say its a welcome development..!!

Nobody want to do some comparative Arithemetic...!!

Crude oil is not the same thing as petrol. The latter has cost of refining and transporting, and seller margin.
