Disregard Rumour Of Impending Hike In Petrol Price - NNPC by Ravon: 8:15pm On Jul 11, 2019
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on Thursday advised motorists and other petroleum product consumers to disregard the trending rumour of a planned hike in the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol.

It explained that the statement of the corporation’s Group Managing Director, Mele Kyari, at the National Assembly on Wednesday did not suggest any plan to increase the price of the white product.

NNPC Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Mr. Ndu Ughamadu, clarified that what the NNPC GMD stated during his engagement with the Senate President, Senator Ahmed Lawan, was that the price of petrol was abysmally low in Nigeria compared to what obtained in neighbouring West African countries.

Ughamadu noted that Kyari had observed at the event that the huge disparity in the pump price of petrol between Nigeria on the one hand and her neighbouring countries, on the other hand, tended to encourage cross-border smuggling

This, according to Ughamadu, was why the NNPC boss sought the support of the leadership of the National Assembly to curb the malaise of smuggling.

The oil firm advised Nigerians to disregard the insinuation of a planned hike in the price of petrol by NNPC.

It stated that statutorily NNPC was not even in a position to regulate the price of petroleum products, adding that the corporation’s role as an operator must be differentiated from that of any of the industry regulators.

Ughamadu stated that as directed by relevant agencies of government, the pump price of petrol remains N145 per litre.

NNPC cautioned petroleum products’ marketers not to sell petrol above N145 per litre following the disclaimed rumour.

It advised Nigerians to remain vigilant and volunteer information to the Department of Petroleum Resources, the industry regulator, or to any law enforcement agency around them, on any station which sells petrol beyond N145 per litre.

that is the problem with our journalism of recent.

But we can’t take away the fact that issues like this first come out like a rumour before appearing as reality.

In every rumor, there is always an element of truth

What apostle Suleman did today isn’t a rumor but only using the reality to mislead the public.
Surely, we both know that there is a page having the Fulani man rearing cattle. That is a fact and reality.
All zones are duly represented, he closed his eyes on that fact

But Apostle Suleman’s motive was to use the reality to mislead the public, which was absolutely wrong.

Something one could call selective appeal to people ‘s emotion

NNPC has no choice

Either we start finding 70 extra dollars per barrel of crude we sell, or we keep taking loans...

Because unless someone has a secret magical goose that lays eggs worth 7 trillion naira apiece every week, I doubt Nigeria can keep on subsidising fuel at 145 per liter.

Unless someone can convince me that donating 2 trillion naira annually to a group of corrupt cabals in return for zero investment in our downs stream sector is a good idea of economic policy, subsidy or under recovery has to go.

Unless someone is telling me that price controls, which I learned in economics is bad for economies is somehow good.... Which means also that black is now red and white is now green...

Oil subsidy must go. Yes, we will suffer. Until the benefits kick in

With this denial, Nigerians disregard the news of fuel price increase at your own peril.
This is exactly how they use the media to sample the tension such act will cause in the polity before doing it.
