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 49 Likes 11 Shares |

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. 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. 173 Likes 8 Shares |

As long as Buharis incompetence keeps the Naira unstable there is no way international price of crude will be the only parameters that affect the cost of petrol in Nigeria ... The recent increase came as a result of failing Naira and not international crude price ...as I predicted last that the Naira will slide by today and now it's has , automatically Buhari has to resume payment of secret subsidy for the next shipment of Petrol coming or he increases the pump price again .. The only way out of this is either we get competent leader if we want to keep importing petrol or we we fix our refineries .. 52 Likes 4 Shares |

GamalNasser:You have aptly surmised it bro.The best thing is for the government/NNPC hands off regulating the price & sole handling of petroleum products & let the market forces determine it for once. Let them pass the PIB, deregulate the downstream sector & open up the market.The subsidy regime is profiting the cabal that have kept our refineries in their present comatose state despite the huge TAM and other humongous overhead costs. 26 Likes 2 Shares |

GamalNasser:Naira will always depreciate whenever there's a fall in oil prices, except we can have alternative means of earning USD outside oil. As per the point Atiku raised, government may argue that the reason why current pump prices is not lower than what was obtainable in 2019 is because the 2019 price was subsidized and the current one is not. Dunno if that's a valid argument or not. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

Oil Marketers Deny NNPC On
N5.35bn Petrol Subsidy Payment
Okechukwu Nnodim, Abuja Oil marketers on Monday expressed surprise over the resurfacing of petrol subsidy in June 2020 as disclosed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation in its latest operations report. According to marketers of petrol, the government had since March this year declared that the downstream oil sector had been deregulated and as such there was no need for petrol subsidy. The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria and the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria told our correspondent in Abuja that they had not received any subsidy payments from government. The PUNCH reported on Monday that NNPC made an under-recovery of N5.35bn in June. Under-recovery is the losses incurred by the oil firm due to the difference between the subsidised price at which the corporation sells petrol and the price which it should have received to meet its production cost. The Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs, Division, NNPC, Kennie Obateru, had explained that the return of under-recovery in June was due to the payment for stock held by marketers at the onset of the removal of subsidy by the Federal Government. “Since the subsidy removal started with reduction in pump price, marketers have been paid the differential of the PPPRA verified stock they held and it is spread over a period of six months,” he said. But the National Public Relations Officer, IPMAN, Ukadike Chinedu, said it was surprising to hear of subsidy payments when the downstream sector had been deregulated. He said, “They didn’t pay us any subsidy money. You are also aware that the market has been deregulated. We are now dispensing products based on international crude oil market price. “Furthermore, you are aware of the price regime and this regime is regulated by the price of crude oil in the international market. So, where is the subsidy coming from?” Chinedu added, “You are also aware that in the months of February, March, April, May and June, the PPPRA released guiding prices for petrol based on price deregulation. So as at what point did the subsidy come in? On whether marketers got any support when the pump price of petrol crashed from over N140 per litre to about N125 per litre some months ago, the IPMAN official said nothing of such happened. Chinedu said, “There is no differential that was paid to us because when they reduced the cost of the product from N145 to N123, they did not pay any differential to anybody. https://punchng.com/oil-marketers- deny-nnpc-on-n5-35bn-petrol- subsidy-payment/ 2 Likes |

Every Economist knew the fuel prices were lower than that set in the market and was what adversely affecting the downstream sector. That's why the populace wanted a subsidy to remain. 1 Like |

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. 13 Likes 2 Shares |

Trust no Nigeria politician. Their economics theories are different during the campaign and before assuming the post. But it's another theories and principles they implement when they are on the seat. That was how APC said #40 per litre and #1to $1 is possible. 7 Likes 1 Share |
