Oil Marketers Deny NNPC On N5.35bn Petrol Subsidy Payment by Mgbadike80: 4:04pm On Sep 07, 2020 |
Okechukwu Nnodim, Abuja
Oil marketers on Monday expressed
surprise over the resurfacing of
petrol subsidy in June 2020 as
disclosed by the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation in its latest
operations report.
According to marketers of petrol, the
government had since March this
year declared that the downstream oil
sector had been deregulated and as
such there was no need for petrol
subsidy. The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria told our correspondent in Abuja that they had not received any subsidy payments from government. The PUNCH reported on Monday that NNPC made an under-recovery of N5.35bn in June. Under-recovery is the losses incurred by the oil firm due to the difference between the subsidised price at which the corporation sells petrol and the price which it should have received to meet its production cost. The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs, Division, NNPC, Kennie Obateru, had explained that the return of under-recovery in June was due to the payment for stock held by marketers at the onset of the removal of subsidy by the Federal Government. “Since the subsidy removal started with reduction in pump price, marketers have been paid the differential of the PPPRA verified stock they held and it is spread over a period of six months,” he said. But the National Public Relations Officer, IPMAN, Ukadike Chinedu, said it was surprising to hear of subsidy payments when the downstream sector had been deregulated. He said, “They didn’t pay us any subsidy money. You are also aware that the market has been deregulated. We are now dispensing products based on international crude oil market price. “Furthermore, you are aware of the price regime and this regime is regulated by the price of crude oil in the international market. So, where is the subsidy coming from?” Chinedu added, “You are also aware that in the months of February, March, April, May and June, the PPPRA released guiding prices for petrol based on price deregulation. So as at what point did the subsidy come in? On whether marketers got any support when the pump price of petrol crashed from over N140 per litre to about N125 per litre some months ago, the IPMAN official said nothing of such happened. Chinedu said, “There is no differential that was paid to us because when they reduced the cost of the product from N145 to N123, they did not pay any differential to anybody. https://punchng.com/oil-marketers-deny-nnpc-on-n5-35bn-petrol-subsidy-payment/ |
