Major oil marketers expressed worries

The Nigerian downstream sector players have expressed their opinions on the new petrol pricing announced by the NNPC Limited.

Punch reports that MOMAN has expressed worries that the high price of petrol sourced from the Dangote Refinery could trigger increased importation of petrol by other marketers.

The marketer further highlighted potential variations in petrol prices at filling stations, stressing that the actual price Nigerians may pay could reach up to N1,200 per litre, depending on the location.

Similarly, IPMAN, which controls a large majority of petrol stations in the country, has voiced concerns about the price of petrol from the Dangote Refineries.

The group urged NNPC to ensure that domestically refined fuel does not exceed the price of imported petrol. Speaking on Channels Television, John Kekeocha,

IPMAN’s National Welfare Officer, questioned the rationale behind higher prices for domestically produced fuel, warning that such pricing would undermine the gains of domestic refining.

He argued that the pricing strategy for locally refined petrol should benefit Nigerians by offering more affordable options.

Kekeocha remarked: “If NNPC sells Dangote’s products higher than imported ones, then what was all the celebration for?”
