AmazingGenius: The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has justified its earlier request that the Federal Government authorize a N100 billion intervention fund to help stabilize the petroleum products market and make them more accessible to Nigerians.
Dr. Billy Gillis-Harry, President of the association, spoke on Arise TV’s This Morning Show on Monday about the urgent need for financial intervention to offset the high cost of business operations in the sector.
“The request for N100 billion intervention was requested because it is going to cushion the cost of money in our business. And that will make a long way to make petroleum products available and affordable to Nigerians.”
He further elaborated on the source of the proposed funds, emphasizing that the intervention could be integrated into the federal budget.
“Every year, there’s a budget, and this N100 billion is just a small fraction of it. It’s going to significantly ease our operations, especially considering that the current cost of money is between 36 and 40 percent,” he stated.
The PETROAN president stressed that the high cost of financing has placed immense pressure on petroleum product retailers, which directly impacts the prices that consumers face at the pump. The intervention fund, he argued, would provide the necessary financial relief to ensure a steady supply of petroleum products at reduced prices.
Dr. Gillis-Harry also appealed to the federal government to prioritize the request, emphasizing its potential benefits for the broader economy. “We hope the federal government will take this very seriously. It’s going to help ensure that Nigerians can access petroleum products at a much more affordable price,” he urged.
Back story
Over the weekend, the group, in a statement signed by its president urged President Bola Tinubu to approve N100 billion grant to marketers to help with job losses caused by the removal of petrol subsidy.
The statement read, in part, “PETROAN request for a grant of N100 billion from President Bola Tinubu to help prevent the closure of 10,000 marketers’ businesses.”
“The request is in response to the threat of job losses that would result from the removal of the fuel subsidy.”
• PETROAN said the recommendations will consolidate gains in the downstream sector.
• According to the association, despite the challenges experienced last year, the sector is poised for continued growth and development.
“2024 was a significant year for Nigeria’s oil and gas downstream sector, marked by deregulation, infrastructure investments, and growth in the LPG market,” PETROAN said.
TimeManager: Any serious person would ignore Peter Obi, he's not worth it, a weakling for that matter. During campaign, Reno Omokri made him cry on Arisetv town hall debate, after election, Tinubu made him cry live on TV, and now he's crying again. When they fire back at him after firing the first shot, he goes on crying. Someone should tell Obi that politics does not entertain sissies & ball less men.
Sometimes I wonder how you guys reason sha, if they had observed decorum and orderliness, the stampede won't happen in the first place, the average Nigerian mentality of greed, always wanting to outdo the other is the reason for this tragic incident, not the Naomi philanthropic act.
helinues: Those kids would have have been alive if there wasn't any event organised by Ex Olori
Please where is the mumu Reno Omokry,he should come and dispute Taiwo's position, yeye man wey no get an atom of shame with, fake data to deceive his foolish and gullible followers.
Federal Capital Minister, Barr. Nyesom Wike has slammed Deji Adeyanju, a lawyer which he said turned an emergency activist, civil society. According to Wike, Adeyanju came to him to seek assistance to became the People's Democratic Party's (PDP) National Publicity Secretary, which he rejected him and he couldn't attain his dream.
But State Government and Human Right Activists can take over Private Schools bully cases right? Sometimes, borrow yourself some sense and think wide before opening your mouth.
blacknp: I don’t think he has the jurisdiction to arrest, & prosecute, it is a Federal school under the purview of Abuja, The Minister of State for education is the person that has the jurisdiction not the state governor.
I have always advocate that CNG isn't the way to go, because of the safety concerns. The PSI (Pressure Bar) is too high for one to be carrying about given the condition of road drivers madness in Nigeria, it will be everyday bomb explosion.
World Cup, and Copa America, what was he able to achieve with his Country team, stop this lazy Nigerian victim card mentality, club performance is not the only metrics used in gifting the award. Always looking at yourself with the inferiority lens of skin color/complexion, nonsense.
Hemanwel: Even though I believe Vini Jr. hasn't played half of what a lot of players who didn't win the Ballon dor during Messi and Ronaldo era, I think he's the best player on earth today.
I am 101% sure he wasn't given this award simply cos of his skin color.
The Rep member is sure a mad man, and will be paying for it, I trust social media will help this guy get justice; but you see that nonsense last paragraph of yours, better delete it, you can't be rendering an executive service for which you're being paid a premium for the service and not be respectful to your client! That your last paragraph is that of those drivers with "Na condition make I dey drive bolt" and they're never respectful, if that condition can't make you to be humble in rendering your service to your client, then stop driving on bolt app. Nonsense mentality
Judolisco: I disagree, First uber drivers and bolt drivers are the same.... It's jst an app.... And all this things you listed about the drivers can also be said about the passangers....
I've driven bolt before and I met rude passangers, I was defrauded many times by people who sent fake transfers....
Bolt drivers are not your slaves and they don't owe you any respect, their own na to carry go your destination, then you pay them... No be you buy motor for them
Can you ever be useful, and responsible in your life?
helinues: Should we say some people have stopped taking responsibility for their personal needs without allowing the situation to deteriorate
Because this one that any small thing, government must be responsible. Are the so called politicians Aliens from Pluto? Are they not the same products of the Nigeria community which refused to produce good products.
The yahoo boys, the Oloshos, the criminals, abeg where are their parents? Are those also government?
Look at the idiot who brought Nigeria into all this mess having the nerves to come talk to us about losing hope in failed leadership, thunder strike you there, I no blame you, I blame who push this nonsense to front page.
Your reasoning is quite low, go take your time to study labour law, Cardoso should know the best approach to retrench those men without dragging CBN as an institution into this mess, he has forgotten he's not running a one man business.
Richtaiwo: So those vacancies should remain vacant because the sacked directors have gone to court? Are they just occupying those offices to be earning salaries or there are work to be done by the directors?
If there are important jobs to be done by these directors in those offices, I see no reason the offices should remain vacant to the detriment of the system. But if however, those offices exist only for the occupants to be earning salaries, then the court can grant their request until all matters are resolved.
You called the MD, you guys had dinner, you didn't deemed it fit to discuss the land issue with him, and give him an ultimatum to develop the land, you just revoke the land CofO using your own discretion, does the above makes any sense to you? Some of you blind supporters sha!!!!
Abbeytoy: You people with wahala once someone is not in good terms with you.
What's bad in using the land for housing? Who's looking land for factory and not giving one?
How can they allocate a land for someone for 20yrs and nothing done on it if not fraud?
Thank God for his intervention, however,before we take sides, were the environment concerns raised by the official genuine according to Nigeria standard operating guidelines for such projects? Very relevant question, and I guess that was why his Chinese partner was scared! Think outside the box before you take sides.
Acura is a very expensive car to maintain, the parts are so expensive, plus it doesn't have fuel economy, I have used it. It gives you class/carriage but too expensive to maintain.
gofigurena: Please, note all the cars are claimed to be toks, not Nigerian used. All the pictures are for demonstration purposes except the White Infiniti G35 Sport- that's the actual car.
Normally, your brain 🧠 has been used by APC for campaign rituals, so when you spill rubbish from your gutter mouth no one is surprised. Ode, like this now, you don comment abi?
Go read NFF press release on the subject, their logistics was entirely planned by them, they knew the venue of the match but choose to use PH airport for reasons best known to them.
NOETHNICITY: Can someone please explain why Nigeria flew the Libyan team to PH instead of Akwa Ibom? Because this entire situation seem to me like payback by the Libyans
This actually favours Atiku and SIM the most, status quo remaining the same, means Wike can't proxy control the party as he wishes, this power play has shown him a little lesson that the party is by far bigger than Him and Damagun put together! PDP affair is a National party affair, not little Rivers politics. Again,SIM has humbled Wike.
