Kerosene and diesel enjoy full deregulation. No subsidies on them. If pms is fully deregulated today, the price will be in the same ballpark. 7 Likes |

Who are these people defending absurdity, where were they when kerosene was N50 and petrol was N65? When a government has no economic plan, looking for every avenue to take from the people, the government knows petrol is a no go area, decides to put it on kerosene and gas, therefore inflicting the pain on the common man. 2 Likes |

2aces:Mr. Chemist, more dense gini! You just wrote rubbish. The simple answer is that there's a subsidy on petrol. Price has nothing to do with being dense or light but on the cost of crude oil and the value of the dollar in Naira because petroleum products are priced in dollars. 2 Likes |

2aces: My brother, thanks for educating them. Kero is almost the same as Jet fuel. Nigeria cannot remove subsidy on diesel and pay subsidy on Jet fuel. It is the removal of subsidy on Kero and cost of production that makes Kero expensive. Most of the times, people don't know what is happening. Those making money from subsidies instigate the masses to fight government against subsidy removal because of their interest. The corruption in subsidy payment and the fact that the rich though very few in number benefit more than the poor under subsidy regime makes its removal imperative. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Why Is Kerosene More Expensive Than Petrol ? by ufotunang: 12:50pm On Aug 05, 2022 |
It's because fuel is subsidized by the federal government... fuel subsidy is paid on fuel... if not we will be buying fuel for 1000 naira per litre |
Re: Why Is Kerosene More Expensive Than Petrol ? by Nobody: 12:51pm On Aug 05, 2022 |
Adiob200: In 2013, kerosene was deregulated. That means that government no longer pays a subsidy for the product specifically...meaning that kerosene price is set by the market directly. Petrol has not been deregulated. As such, government has NNPC sell petrol to the market at a price below the cost of production and transport, and pays a subsidy to cover the resulting loss. Sometimes government removes part of the money from the subsidy if the cost gets too much...meaning that the price of petrol rises accordingly , or increases it a bit. 1 Like |

Adiob200: Kerosine follows the price of diesel because it’s used to make diesel. The right mixture of condemn engine oil and kerosine will give you fake diesel. Ever wonder why condemn engine oil is in high demand? It’s also used as JET A1 fuel and also for other industrial uses. Kerosine will always follow the price of diesel cos the point one above. 1 Like |
