Sell the refineries to people who can manage them.

They will buy crude oil from NNPC, refine it and sell back to filling station owners.

It has been fully deregulated. NNPC was sole importer hoping they could cut on the sharp practices of the Nigerian business men. But they learnt the hard way that NNPC was worse...

So Atiku can go and bring his own and tell us the landing cost per liter instead of asking a question for which he already has the answer with an intentional further confuse the masses...

cry cry cry

How can NNPC be worse when Barawo Bubu is the minister?
Sorry but I cannot understand that.

Please explain more on Petroleum products Equalization Fund

The Petroleum Equalisation fund Management Board is a scheduled Parastatal of the Ministry of Petroleum Resources ,established by Decree No. 9 of 1975 (as amended by Decree No. 32 of 1989 ), mainly to administer Uniform Prices of Petroleum products through out the country.

THE IMPLICATION OF EQUALISATION PROCESS
 
i. The consumer pays the in-built transportation cost of N2.99 per litre irrespective of where the products are purchased, whether in zone 1 or in zone 9.

ii. Transportation cost is related to distance travelled between the points of lifting the products (Depots) and the points of sale (outlets).

iii. The marketer serves as an agent of the PEF (M)B in collecting the allowance built-into the price structure, and transfers same to the board for equalisation or bridging purposes.

Nonsense and blood sucking government. This is what happens when you have terrorists, tyrants, and criminals as leaders. If Atiku was wrong in his analysis, he should he right on the point of timing. They crumbled the economy, corona came in and made everything worse, people have lost their jobs, and businesses. All they can do to help us is to increase the hardship. If they are not wicked, why would they behave this way at this time?

Interesting. It simply implies that states or cities closer to the deport gets the price at a cheaper rate than states/cities farther away.

Price of fuel did not drop by a correlated factor because the naira lost about a third of it's value against the dollar during the covid period.

Of course there was a brief period when government actually dropped the pump price, because they had no choice. Now crude per barrel has appreciated but naira remains weak to satisfy the president's bdc friends and their co-saboteurs within the cbn

There is nothing like deregulation without abolishment of Petroleum Products Equalisation Fund.

Remove Equalisation Fund and see petrol sell N150 in Rivers State and N300 in Sokoto State.

Partial deregulation is nonsense.

Northern Politicians can't remove Equalisation Funds to avoid being beheaded.

For real. Price differential will definitely cause riots in the north. The funny thing is that the same northerners who regard the ports as a never-ending racket are responsible for abnormal haulage prices (aside from bad roads, banditry etc). It all boils down to bad governance still.

Nigeria can't continue like this for the next three years, either the government runs out of money or there will be nationwide civil unrest.

Atiku better sit down patiently with the person that explained the economics behind deregulation instead of rushing to social media.
These people called Politicians are just as dumb as anyone.

Fine, when Buhari first deregulated in 2016, Oil price dropped "due to competition" by 1 naira, but what happened after, it flew right up to #145.
This is because Oil is always in high demand and the higher the demand the higher the price.

Officialgarri's law states that "Any product with increasing demand and without corporate regulations will have it's market price competing mostly at increasing prices" e.g Cryptocurrencies
Hence, the introduction of subsidy. If not for regulation and subsidies, gas was initially supposed to be selling at about #179 but the Government pays about #46.

So someone tell me something interesting about deregulation

you don't know what you are saying sir!
buhari govt never deregulate petroleum, what they are doing is called maximum price control in Economics. deregulation means government have no say in price of petrol, if that is the case, with level of competition in oil industry where you can see up to five filling station on a street, the fuel price will drastically drop.... then MR=MC

And you just rushed to showcase your myopic knowledge of the situation at hand. Is crude in high demand? How much is the current price? Google countries that cut or reject supplies of your country crude oil. Tell us the current price of the commodity again ??. Guy go sleep.

We shouldn't be encouraging lawlessness, illegal and criminal nativities. What's against the law should remain against the law.

Serious and credible investors won't invest and the ones with investment on the ground won't survive if you let illegal refineries thrive all over the place.

We already have crooked and corrupt leaders of today, our leaders of tomorrow shouldn't be like them or think like them.

Atiku is right here. If crude that sold averagely in 2012 at $95, when GEJ deregulated the pump price was N141

How come now that same crude selling averagely at $41 in 2020, when PMB deregulated, the pump price is N161?

by law of simple proportion, the pump price now should be lower.

all these youths attacking Atiku without thinking deeply about this are lazy youths.

Something is not right with this deregulation done by PMB, Nigerians should ask questions.

They all use fuel price and insecurity as political points till they become president... When they assume office, the narrative changes.

Abeg let Buhari do his own and leave and let's move forward. If it's revolution or election, we'll know by then.

They talk that way because they are ignorant of the state of things. Then they enter office and see how cheap talk is. This is why I dont listen to Sowore. Only dummies listen to his noise.

That's how Buhari was hitting GEJ. Now he's doing everything GEJ did, even the ones he (Buhari) stood against

That is because in 2012, higher crude oil prices meant we had a larger amount of foreign exchange flowing in to buffer the value of the naira, which meant that 141 naira in 2012 was higher in value than 141 naira today.

Tell your bro that the government can not keep subsidizing everything because it is unsustainable.

Tariff must align with the cost of generation, distribution and transmission, if not, investors won't invest in the power sector because they can not recoup their investments or make ends meet.

I blame the government for shielding Nigerians from these obvious realities for decades, but better late than never because it is unsustainable.

We are broke and we can not keep borrowing to fund subsidies and recurrent expenditures. doing so means bankruptcy.

Nigerians want to enjoy what they enjoy in advanced countries, they love to remind themselves how other countries are better than Nigeria because they have stable electricity, but guess what, the people in advanced count don't get subsidies, they pay for what they use.

If you want Nigerian to progress, do away with your awoof mentality,
