Timipre Sylva: FG Has No Control Over The Price Of Cooking Gas by JoyReportsOnlin: 7:07am On Nov 24, 2021

The Federal Government, yesterday, declared it has no control over rising prices of cooking gas in the country. This came as President Muhammadu Buhari expressed concern over sundry developments, especially as the global market determines gas prices.

Buhari has also directed Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, to proceed to Nembe, Bayelsa State, to investigate the level of damage from the recent oil spill in the area.

Sylva made the disclosure while fielding questions from newsmen at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The Minister said he was at the State House to introduce to the President the CEO, Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), Faruk Ahmed, and the CEO, Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Gbenga Komolafe.

Explaining what was responsible for the spike in the prices of cooking gas and what the authorities were doing to address the situation, Sylva said the government has no control over the price increase and cannot subsidise the product because it is fully deregulated

While stressing that gas prices are determined at the international market, the minister said government is doing everything possible to bring down the price, especially during the Yuletide.

He said: “We must understand that cooking gas is not subsidised. It is already a deregulated commodity. So, the price of cooking gas is not determined by government or by anybody in the industry. In fact, gas prices are determined internationally.”

“And you all are aware that in Europe, today, gas prices have gone up. There was even crisis in Europe relating to gas prices. So, the pricing of gas internationally affects also the price of gas in the country.

“These are the issues of balancing that the midstream and downstream regulatory authority are handling. And I want to assure you that we are quite concerned. Mr. President also is very concerned. He is aware that the price of gas is high in the market, and we’re doing everything trying to see how we can bring down the price of gas especially as we approached the Yuletide.”

Nothing that they have control over. They have no control over the dwindling economy, no control over rising prices of goods and services. Worst of all they have no control over the massive corruption, looting and stealing which they used as part of their campaign slogans to hoodwink gullible Nigerians.

Sylva NC keeps presenting himself as if he has anything whatsoever to do with the decision making process in Nigerias oil industry.. Gas price increases coupled with the so called oil subsidy removal will ultimately push the people to the wall in an election year in which the presidential election is bound to produce an unpopular candidate.....

Folks like Sylva are the real problem of this country.Very shallow minded man with no iota of principles providing all the political cover needed by a despot to thrive... Keeps taking decisions that favor others at the detriment of his own people, just because he was appointed to a ceremonial position..

Buhari government is the epitome of foolishness.

You have no control over price of cooking gas, yet you plan to inject 10m cylinders in households across the country

Will the cylinders be use for decoration or what and what exactly does the government have control over apart from economic hardship

Even the constitutional social responsibility to the citizens? Yeah! This is after they have reinforced the upgraded chain to the next level.

They are not in control of issue that will ease the pain of the downtrodden masses but they have full control over policies that will inflict more hardship, suffering, wickedness and bastardization of the failed contraption of a nation.

DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!
It's your freaking job!
If you can't do it, then what's your usefulness?
I no blame you. It's because you people have hundreds of maids and servants who buy gas and cook for you people.
