efilefun:There are two ways of making petroleum products available to d consuming public in Nigeria, local refining and importation of products. So far, importation has been a conduit 4d enrichment of a few. Refining is a cheaper option which many govts since d abacha era have refused to pursue 4 obvious reasons. If atiku says he can get a litre of fuel to b N80, then it is practicable &possible |

obailala: Stop deceiving yourself Mister... If we have what it takes for other countries we refine our product from to refine ours then there is no means importing it and paying for Landing cost and other expenses. Tell me what will keep the petrol from being free even, let alone sold at a high price of N80? And yes without any form of subsidy. ![]() |

Atiku's business acumen, like that of most successful rich thieves,i.e,Tinubu, centers on looting the people's wealth unhindered. Why certified thieves are the only people available to lead a country of over a hundred million people in the 21st century is something that is beyond comprehension. It is either the general population are thieves themselves or mentally shackled. |

A barrel of crude is not up to 159 litres of PMS, just about 75 litres. But there are other more valuable fractions like jet fuel household kerosen, diel, asphalt,lpg etc. These altogether can give above 153 dollars. So lower pump price is achievable with prudence and sincerity in there management of our oil/ gas resources. Moreover the determination to fix our refineries is all we need. Just may be Atiku can break the jinx and make the refineries work to say 60% capacity we would not be paying #145 for a litre of fuel. Let's try Atiku, while we keep our PVC close by for 2023. efilefun: |

lexy2014: EasternActivist: Global oil price is ~$80, and a barrel of crude can produce roughly 160 litres of pms. At current official exchange rate of N305/$, $80 = N24400 for 160 litres. That comes up to roughly N152.5. Note that the figure above has not considered the cost of adding value to the crude; i.e. refining, transportation, storage and other miscellaneous costs. So with the above in mind, if Nigerian govt refines it's crude and decides to drop the pump price to N80, it would be losing over N70/litre which it would have gained if it decides to alternatively just sell the crude internationally at $80; in essence, Nigeria would be foregoing about $37 per barrel of crude it uses for local consumption. That foregone figure is already subsidy, and it's something no Nigerian govt would willingly want to go back to if it can be avoided. Oby Ezekwesili does not blab. @EasternActivist If you're ignorant of a subject, the honorable and mature thing to do is to ask for an explanation rather than jump around calling people liars. 1 Like |

The next thing that can reduce fuel price in Nigeria has already commenced. Hopefully on the completion of the Dangote refinery in Lagos. Fuel importation and price will reduce. |

efilefun: Why has exchange rate gone so high? When Buhari took over from GEJ it was N170/$ now it has gone to N305/$ in fact I have bought dollar N370. This is monumental failure. What was the price of fuel when he took over it was N85 now it is N145. Another failure. This man is seeking for second tenure.This is insane and ridiculous. As a medical doctor, I'm presicribing Atikumacyn and Obisunate to save Nigeria from sudden death. Nigeria is in emergency room. |

obailala: U haven't given any explanation my dear. U said absolutely nothing. U are using d indices of determining d cost of imported product to determine d cost of locally refined product. Does that make sense? If we are talking about local refining, then what has local refining got to do with foreign exchange and d global price of crude oil? Does NNPC import crude oil 4d purpose of local refining that u are talking about price of crude on d global market and foreign exchange? What has cost of transportation, storage got to do with local refining? What do u mean by miscellaneous costs? U need to break things down. So take ur time to read my last post and this and answer d questions I asked |

lexy2014: lexy2014:'Opportunity Cost', are you aware of that economic concept?.... If a fruit seller has 50 mangos which he intends to sell in the market place for N10 each, those 50 mangoes would fetch him N500 in total. But if he puts 20 of those mangoes aside and sells them to his family members for N5 each, his total income at the end of the day would be N400 (because he sold 20 mangoes at half the market price). N500 - N400 = N100; the seller has eventually lost N100 because he chose to 'subsidise' the price of the mangoes he sold to his family members. That N100 is the opportunity cost (or subsidy) the fruit seller incurs for providing cheap mangoes to his family. Hopefully you now understand the concept of opportunity cost; so permit me to painstakingly go through my previous explanations again since you claim you didn't understand it. You ask what exchange rate and global oil price has to do with local production. The first question you should ask yourself is, what exactly is the price value of crude?... At $80/barrel, that amounts to N24400 (at an exchange rate of N305). Now if 1 barrel of crude typically produces ~160 litres of petrol, what that means is that 1 litre of petrol has a base price of ~N152 (note that this amount is the barest minimum which even EXCLUDES the cost of refining, transportation, storage and other miscellaneous cost which are all inevitable; if we are to add those extra unavoidable costs, the base price of petrol will be well more than that N152). So in summary, this paragraph has explained that $80/bbl crude = N152/litre petrol; I hope you now understand where the N152 figure came from? This then brings us to the next point; "What has that N152 got to do with local production?" This is where the basic economic concept of 'OPPORTUNITY COST' comes in to play. Nigeria sells it's oil in the global market at global price of $80/bbl crude (which is equivalent to N152/litre petrol). Even though Nigeria is a producing country, crude oil isn't an infinite commodity which we can just churn out a limitless volume any time we want; at each point in time, Nigeria only has a limited quantity to sell. So therefore, if Nigeria now decides to reserve some of that crude which it could have sold internationally for $80/bbl (N152/litre petrol), and then refine it locally and sell petrol locally for N80/litre (as opposed to the N152/litre which it could have been sold for if it was sold internationally), instead of making ~N152/litre, the government will now make only N80/litre; i.e. a loss of N72 for every litre of petrol sold locally. That loss of N72/litre is the opportunity cost the govt incurs for selling petrol cheaply at a price which is lower than the international going rate; that's N72 will invariably be a SUBSIDY paid by govt to give Nigerians affordable petrol. I sincerely hope you now get the logic. 2 Likes |
