The criminals ruling this country never tire of their shameful act, how would someone tell us that they are selling price of it cost them and still claim there is no subsidy. Do they think everybody is fool like them? It is Nigeria a government officials will give figure without statistical evidence. All the billions of Naira and Dollars MD of NNPCL claimed is for subsidy, d did he gave us any figure of quantity impact and price par litre, can import document be verified against it, can ship and insurance manifest proved the figure? Can Nigeria custom confirm the payment of appropriate import duties paid. The official always like to claim unsubstantiated value, and those in authority approved without asking questions. This is what is know as conspiracy of elite, what make Nigeria democracy to be government of elite, for the elite and by the elite.

Willie2015:

Its not about the selling price ...
Its strictly about those who dont want refineries to work..
Let the four refineries be functional...
And let Dangote Refinery also do his own part...
Petrol will be available...at a good price..

The refineries have not been working because subsidy prevented the sector from making a profit (remember until 2013, diesel and kerosene were subsidised....as well as petrol...meaning every liter comming out of our refineries of diesel, kero and petrol lost money. Even jet A1 fuel).

You refine something that costs N1000 to make , and then sell it at N700, and expect there to be a profit for 1) imports of fuel 2) even refinery in Nigeria.

Keep in mind that we have been doing this for decades, and it got so bad, we started skipping TAM to keep costs of subsidy low. Result...we lost refining capacity from 400000 bpd in 1988 to less than 9000 In 2019.

Now, see Venezuela....once upon a time, they had one refinery that produced 900000 Bpd of fuel, now that same refinery produces less than 100000 BPD.

And fuel there sells for the equivalent of N40. Government there loses 12 billion dollars annually to smuggling.

And the government is even more tougher and nationalistic than Nigeria, and has even dealt with the rich elite there...yet same results.

And there is no Nigerian running things there at all.

As harsh as it sounds petrol costs money to refine, and must be sold at a profit to pay the costs, and salaries , and upgrades cost.

You got it 95% wrong. I am just being gentle with your assertions. The only thing that you said and that is applicable to the private sector is not selling things on loss.

Our tax to gdp ratio is less than 11%. Over 70% of Nigerians do not pay income tax to the federal and state coffers. Between 60-80% of our revenues comes from oil, and most of the rest comes from loans.

We ain't earning enough from tax

And even if we were earning from tax...take our budget for this year. It is less than 30 trillion. Estimates for fixing our power sector for example have been put at 15 trillion yearly. Half our budget.

Would you spend half our budget on fixing power up, and use loans to fll in the resultant deficit?

This is really unfortunate that the worst of us are the one ruling the best of us.

Which trillion yearly? What happened to the billions of USD allocated to the power sector by Obasanjo? What happened to the previous allocated budget? Who said we are not earning enough from tax? Nigerian government have succeeded in brainwashing her citizenry to believe anything they spit out. Corruption! Don't believe this guys. A country with zero accountability.

They will wake up tomorrow and tell you again that the landing cost is now #1,600 and they will believe Nigerians won't ask questions.

Subsidy is a scheme put in place by Elites that...
do not want the refineries to work ....
It cannot act alone in itself...
Remove the bottlenecks and let the refinery work first and foremost
Four refineries plus Dangote is enough to do the magic...
Price will find its true place with these factors in place ....
Not the other way round...

Reason I don't like weaker presidents like yaradua and Jonathan. NNPC is scan and we all know, OBJ sold them to foreigners and yaradua reverted it knowing fully well that they are not productive and profitable. Same as Jonathan keep borrowing and using forex reserves to defend the fuel subsidy and naira. People protested and he reverted. These are not true leaders.

Tinubu removed subsidy without any plan or understanding of what it is.
He then devalue the Naira without another understanding.
Now subsidy got annoyed and bounced back at 400%.
These are the true positions we know all these while. Tinubu is paying more subsidy than past administration.
They don't want to accept the reality on on ground. He has only succeeded in grounding the country.

But this country is very funny oo. What is actually the problem why Nigeria cant get 24 hours electricity? Is it mission impossible or what is wrong exactly.

Now all these money they are lamenting about using to buy millions of litres of fuel daily, if there is stable electricity in the country, the fuel consumption will reduce drastically because a very large percentage of that fuel they claim they are subsidizing goes for generator use especially for businesses in areas suffering epileptic power supply.

Make them fix electricity using nuclear, hydro or gas turbine systems and watch the consumption of fuel reduce. While they recover the money used in generating the electricity through payment of light bills on prepaid meters and other viable methods.

But the main question remains, why cant Nigeria fix it's electricity in this modern age and reduce the consumption of fuels like Petrol and Diesel drastically?

And the worst now is that most of the fuel stations don't sell to kegs anymore. Tell me how one will be fueling his generator and no light.

nairalanda1:

We don't have electricity and petrol because we sell them below the market price, in the name of subsidy, and have been doing so since the 1970's.

The first warning signs were when we had fuel queues in 1976, and power cuts from 1978.

But since we 'had to help the poor' we continued.

The result...the power and petroleum sector depreciated because there wasn't enough profit in the system to fix and upgrade and maintain things at the same time.

Right now, power for most people is charged below the production cost of N160-170 per kwh, except for Band A people who pay N209 and above, and even then, government is planning to subsidise universites and hospitals on band A. Add the fact that band A people make up 20% of the customer base of our electriciity sector

Meaning our power sector loses money. ANd here is the scary thing, before the BAND A price increase , everyone paid below the production cost of a kwh of power. EVERYONE.

I haven't even mentioned things like massive power theft , among other things. And then the corruption which arises in part because since we don't pay the discos and gencos decent money, their workers supplement their income by bribes and so forth...including ilelgal conncections.

The result is the power sector has been operating at a chronic loss for decades...even now, government owes the sector N2 trn or more in unpaid subsidy costs. Let's not even talk about the debt owed by Nigerians.

Compare with the GSM sector who at least have some control over price setting....tell me, when was the last time you bribed an MTN worker to connect you to the network when your airtime ran dry?

Sell at a loss, operate at a loss. Feed a child one egg and two grains of rice a day, dont complain when the same child scores minus 40 in his end of term examinations.

You run something at a loss, issues start.

So how do you think this issue can be sorted out. I mean the issue of no constant electricity supply.

Market price in this case is a price that is higher than the landing cost for fuel in this country (or a price that is higher than the cost of refining when Dangote et al come on stream)....that enables the seller to make a profit to keep on being in business of improting or refining so to speak.

Everyone pays for power at N210 per kwh, with prices going up as the cost of producing one kwh of power goes up.

It seems you don't really understand what is the subsidy that was gone. B4 now, presidency and national assembly provided huge amounts of money, even taken loans to pay for fuel subsidy while NNPC declared no profit. But now, NNPC remains unprofitable as its ever being but the presidency no longer budget and pay for additional overhead called subsidy. So, NNPC takes responsibility for the, Crude and the PMS. Meaning, NNPC have been cheating FG and nigerians since. Before now, No profit made, non refineries working and you still collected subsidy from government. No no no.
I will be so surprised if PH refinery come back to life after dangote, meaning it's dangote production that exposed thier deals.
