Policy has failed, say motorists, Nigerians •It was poorly understood —Ex-MOMAN chairman, Oyebanji
•As states ignore FG’s directive on CNG

ABOUT 50 days after a presidential directive to state governors on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) initiative and price discount by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPCL) on petrol, the twin policy appears to have failed in bringing down prohibitive transport fares and the general cost of living in the country.

A Nigerian Tribune survey across the country showed that the price modulation granted NNPC outlets had failed to bring envisaged relief to motorists and commuters, due to implementation crisis, even as a 30-day arrangement by NNPCL to forgo its retail profit margin ebbs.

Under a mutual agreement unveiled on September 19 by President Bola Tinubu, states were required to deploy CNG-powered buses to cushion the surging prices of petrol, caused by the subsidy removal and the United States-Iran conflict in the Middle East.

Some states that have rolled out CNG-powered buses include Lagos, Edo, Kano, Borno, Kwara, Ekiti, Plateau and Enugu, to help cut transport costs for residents.

Also, the Federal Government, on October 1, introduced a petrol price discount initiative to cushion the effects of escalating prices of the commodity and the increasing cost of living, particularly for commercial transport operators.

The intervention, part of President Tinubu’s efforts to cushion the rising cost of living, was expected to reduce transport operators’ expenses and translate into cheaper fares for passengers.

The government equally encouraged states to adopt CNG and electric-powered vehicles as cheaper alternatives to petrol-powered transportation.

While NNPCL introduced a N66-per-litre discount at its retail outlets from October 1, it subsequently announced the 30-day policy to forgo its retail profit margin and sell petrol at cost, with priority for public transport operators.

The President, also on September 19, asked governors to leverage savings from cheaper CNG-powered transportation to bring down the prohibitive rise in transport fares from October 1.

In an update on the National Affordable CNG Transit Programme, established after a meeting he held with governors on August 27, President Tinubu had explained that the overall objective was for more Nigerians to begin experiencing measurable reductions in transportation costs from October 1.
His words: “I encourage every state to maintain the momentum towards October 1. Work with transport unions and commercial operators. Support conversion and fleet deployment. Facilitate the infrastructure required. Above all, ensure that savings from cheaper energy reach Nigerian citizens through lower fares.”

The Nigerian Tribune, however, discovered at the weekend that motorists in most states, including Kaduna, Sokoto, Kebbi, Kano, and Zamfara, still buy petrol at exorbitant prices, despite the NNPCL discount directives.

The situation is exacerbated by a lack of awareness, restrictive registration conditions, app requirements, and reliance on old stock, preventing meaningful relief.

Coupled with this is the fact that most states are yet to acquire the fleet of CNG-powered mass transit buses promised to boost the relief package being implemented by the government.

Kaduna

In Kaduna, NNPCL still sells petrol for N1,410, despite the president’s order to reduce the pump price, as most commercial vehicle operators are not aware of the directive.

A visit to the NNPCL filling station at Millennium City revealed that commuters are not aware of the fact that a customer must obtain an app that will enable him to enjoy the new price.
Kano

In Kano, the situation is not different, as most NNPCL filling stations still sell petrol at N1,410 per litre in the state capital and environs, but with long queues of motorists being recorded at the NNPC station along Zaria-Kaduna Road.

Findings further revealed that most motorists prefer to buy from other filling stations, rather than go to any NNPC outlet.

While one motorist, Alhaji Ibrahim Haruna, said the long queues at the NNPC station discouraged many customers, another commercial vehicle operator, Alhaji Yahya Suleiman, stated that the difference in fuel price between the NNPC station and other stations was too negligible to warrant wasting precious scarce resources.

Sokoto

In Sokoto State, motorists expressed dissatisfaction with the implementation of the Federal Government’s petrol price discount initiative at NNPC filling stations, describing the conditions for accessing the relief as restrictive.

At an NNPCL filling station in the state capital, it was noted that motorists seeking to benefit from the discount were required to complete a registration form and meet other certain eligibility conditions before accessing the offer.

An attendant at the station explained that the initiative is not automatically available to every customer, even as beneficiaries are restricted in the quantity of petrol they can purchase.

Kebbi

In Kebbi, there seems to be no headway in redressing the plight of citizens, as petrol price fluctuates between N1,440 to N1,480 per litre at many filling stations within the Birnin Kebbi metropolis, except for A.A. Rano, which sells its product for N1,420.

Cooking gas has also jumped to N1,500 per kilogramme at designated stations, but with retailers selling the product between N1,700 and N1,800.

Zamfara

In Zamfara State, the new pricing template for petrol has not been implemented at the NNPCL and major marketers’ filling stations. Both are still selling old stocks at N1,460 per litre, but there were no queues due to the availability of the product in the state.

Jigawa

Commuters in Jigawa State are still paying high transport fares despite President Tinubu’s promise.

There are concerns over the absence of government-owned CNG buses for commercial transportation, non-operation of proposed state government conversion centres and inadequate refueling infrastructure.

Although the administration of Governor Malam Umar Namadi had announced plans to establish CNG conversion centres across the state’s 27 local government areas, the facilities have yet to translate into an operational network capable of supporting widespread conversion and commercial transportation.

Former Chairman of Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, Ambassador Chijioke Ihunwo, has admitted that he and other supporters of Governor Siminalayi Fubara were defeated by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

Ihunwo made the admission on Tuesday while featuring on Arise Television’s Morning Show program.

When asked who is now the "001 of the state,” the former council chairman maintained that Governor Fubara remains the state's number one leader.

“Fubara is my direct principal, and he remains the 001 being the governor of the state,” he said.

He described Fubara as his direct principal, adding that the governor had urged his supporters to join the Rainbow Coalition championed by Wike.

According to Ihunwo, the prolonged political crisis in Rivers State has come to an end, noting that political leaders in the state are now united and working towards a common purpose.

Islamic cleric Sheikh Ahmad Gumi has warned against restoring the petrol subsidy, saying the move could create another avenue for misappropriation of government resources.

Gumi spoke during an interview with PAPShow in response to former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar’s promise to restore the subsidy if elected president.

He said that although governments worldwide provide subsidies to support essential goods and services, Nigeria must first tackle corruption to ensure public funds are not diverted. Nigerianews subscription

If you reopen the subsidy system without first tackling corruption, you may simply create another opportunity for the diversion of public funds,” he said.

Gumi, however, said removing subsidies without adequate support for poor Nigerians also causes hardship, arguing that the government should increase social spending to protect vulnerable citizens. Nigerianews subscription

There is nothing wrong with removing subsidies and increasing social spending to compensate vulnerable citizens. But when you remove subsidies without adequately compensating the poor through social interventions, you create serious hardship,” he said.

He added that restoring the policy without addressing corruption would be wasteful.

“Similarly, bringing back subsidies without addressing endemic corruption would amount to throwing money into a well,” he said.

Gumi questioned whether Nigeria had developed the institutional discipline required to operate a transparent subsidy system, saying public institutions needed a moral reorientation. Nigerianews subscription
