Let’s call this the “Dangote Tax.” They’re trying hard to hand him petrol market just like cement.

The prayer now is for nothing bad to happen to DR.

timilehin007:
Oga this is a target against the fuel importers. Group of people sabotaging the government efforts. A win for Nigeria and Dangote

keep living in denial, if they are, they should be arrested and prosecuted, not tax them to tax Nigerians.

Bobodee09:
Comprehension and basic economics knowledge would have saved you from this embarrassing point.

You don't know this crafty man like I do , if you think he did this protect Dangote than you are a🤡.

We know his cronies are the ones with the high stakes in the import business...Give it some days let's watch , if this gives Dangote any edge then I will come here and apologize..

Stevosty:

You dey mind these clowns , in the coming day their eyes will open , it's Tinubu they are joking with

gare:
will this not increase the price on imported fuel, because i dont think Dangote is able to meet the daily consumption on fuel.

Thats the critical question. But Dangote has consistently said he can meet local demand. And truthfully is a 650kpd refinery is firing on all cylinders, then it should be able to meet our demnd easily, especially now that demand has gone down due to less cars on the roads due to the high cost of petrol.

Tinubu's advisers are his worst enemies. All these taxes he is approving will lead him and the country to nowhere but renewed hardship.

No they are not , just watch

FarahAideed:
So price of petrol about to go up by another 15 percent ....this man is truly heartless abeg

Petrol price is not going up. We have a refinery that can supply all our domestic needs. BUA is under construction and the NNPC refinery is there. This is to make imported petrol more expensive than locally refined petrol, discourage the practice and conserve our forex.

And if they don’t want to patronize Dangote they can set up their own refinery.

He can meet locat deman by two folds , Nigeria doesn't consume more 18 million litres a day , forget the fake figure NNPC uses

LagosOrigin:
This means Nigerians will pay more for fuel ⛽

Nay.... Dangote is winning. Buy local pms and stop or reduce importation.

The man is just using style to
chook his hand in our pockets
to remove our hard earned money
to finance his 2nd term run, because,
last last, na we the consumers go
pay the 15% ....😕😕😕

Raise am! Raise am! Raise am! everywhere just dey red !

LagosOrigin:
more and more burden on Nigerians by this wicked president

This is to force importers to patronize Dangote!

It is well with Nigerians

I hope you know it's the presidents cronies that are actually these importers , it's Oando , Matrix and OVH , all his men ....Tinubu is very crafty so gove it 2 weeks and the true intentions of this will be unveiled , I think this will be a blanket tax taken atve every pump ...they just used this importer thing to douse tension

Good news
They should make it 25percent please

Total lies ..by next week it will be clear

we have no business importing both commodities.

Importation will be minimal. Dangote has reasonable quantity but those that have enjoyed importation all these years don't want it to stop.

They tax your earning, you consumption, your existence, you health, even your happiness. Yekiniology.

It's a good policy. It will support patronage of locally refined products

My thought exactly but the problem is even Dangote is importing fuel... Nigeria is counterintuitive

This president, apart from advice he get from his economic team, does he not think on his own? Tax , increase here and there, is he not asking himself the negative impact it will cus the people. Na wa oo, What a president . I mean, Which kind over night development this president wan give us on a short time with all these taxes?

Mr Borrow, borrow and tax master! Nigerians elected a weirdo and a below par economist!

Svoboda:
President Tinubu is surely taking Nigerians for granted. His only saving grace will be a low voter turnout in 2027.

Many will not vote in 2027
and that's what APC wants.
Low turn out is easy to manipulate results.

Stevosty:
Nigerians should brace up for increase in fuel pump, una go see shege like never before, no job created, no subsidy on anything, no productive sector, but tax on surviving Nigerians.

You are shortsighted. Government wants to discourage importation but those that have used it all these years to milk our fx don't want. Rather than outright ban government elected to use tax. They will be humbled and go to local producers.

Non of your refineries are sufficient for fuel production and you are increasing tax on importation of fuel, the masses are still the ones to suffer it, honestly this is act of wickedness to the highest level

This man head correct at all?
Stabilize the economy make people breath before imposing your taxation and the masses won't mind

regenerateman:
Tax Czar is in power. Nigerians will pay taxes from their noses

Tax no be bad thing

Gotocourt:
I trust middle men and retailers to sell at imported rate despite buying from Dangote. This is to discourage marketers from importing as allowed in the petroleum industry act📌💯🤷🏿

It will be difficult but not impossible. People keep forgetting or are ignorant of the fact that FG owns a significant percentage of Dangote Refinery.

Gotocourt:
It's actually a good thing, local content 💯. It's to discourage import but middle men go spoil am.😥

Dangote will supply direct. Case closed 🔒🔐
