Reactions from Oil Marketers

The announcement has sparked a range of reactions from various oil marketing associations:

• Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN): MOMAN has expressed concerns that the high price of petrol sourced from the Dangote Refinery could lead to increased importation of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). They predict price variations at filling stations, ranging from ₦950 to ₦1,200 per litre, depending on location.
• Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN): IPMAN, representing a majority of petrol stations, has questioned the rationale behind higher prices for domestically produced fuel. National Welfare Officer John Kekeocha emphasized that the pricing strategy for locally refined petrol should benefit Nigerians by offering more affordable options.
• Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN): PETROAN President Billy Gillis-Harry described the petrol prices as “terrifying.” While acknowledging NNPC’s transparency in the price breakdown, he noted that the national oil company did not disclose its profit margin from Dangote’s selling price.

The new petrol prices reflect the complexities and challenges facing Nigeria’s fuel market. As stakeholders navigate the implications of the new pricing strategy, consumers are left to cope with the varying costs across different states. The reactions from MOMAN, IPMAN, and PETROAN highlight the ongoing debate about the best approach to ensure affordable and sustainable fuel pricing in Nigeria.
