The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) has said the price of Motor Spirit churned out by the old Port Harcourt Refinery which resumed production on Tuesday, is ₦75 per litre higher than that sold by the Dangote Refinery.

This was revealed by the association’s Public Relations Officer, Dr. Joseph Obele, during the official reopening ceremony of the refinery, which is now operating at a capacity of 60,000 barrels per day.

Dr Obele, a former chairman of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) at the Port Harcourt Deport who initially applauded the federal government for revitalising the old refinery, expressed concern over the pricing disparity between petrol supplied by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) and the Dangote Refinery.

According to him, while Dangote Refinery sells petrol to marketers at ₦970 per litre, NNPCL’s price stands at ₦1,045, a difference of ₦75 per litre.

He said the ₦75 price differential is a steep margin for businesses, particularly for an industry where profitability hinges on competitive pricing.

He, however, described the refinery’s restoration as a significant step in reducing Nigeria’s dependence on imported petroleum products.

Obele revealed that the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPCL, Mele Kyari, has promised to address the issue and harmonise prices to mitigate the impact on marketers and consumers.

The reopening of the Port Harcourt Refinery is expected to enhance local production capacity and reduce reliance on imports, a move welcomed by stakeholders across the sector.

However, concerns over pricing disparities underscore the need for continuous reforms to stabilise the downstream sector of the petroleum industry.

Nigerians are expecting price reduction of the product, why the increase when we refine and still produce the crude oil?

NNPC officials are yet to tell Nigerians the kind of politics going on there.

Why do I have this inner feeling that NNPC is taking petroleum products from Dangote and give Nigerians the impression P.H refinery is working

Corruption is the reason we still have high petroleum price despite functioning refineries.

All left ? 😆

Refinery belongs to the Nigeria state, the crude oil also belongs to the Nigeria state.

So i see no reason why a litre of fuel should be sold for more than N200.

We just have evil leaders, and later, one idiot and foolish woman working in TVC would criticize Davido for saying the truth.

Dem don start again
What is the essence of government refinery if not to bring down the prices of refined products compared to the private sector

We now know the source of our problem. From reading this an average and uneducated Nigerian will understand that NNPC is our major headache in the oil sector. What is stopping the govt from scrapping this NNPCL corrupt company? I guess they are benefiting from it. Since corruption has deepen the govt of the day. I think the best solution is to sell it out to private firms but the problem is that it’s still these govt people that will bid for it and still buy it. Nigeria is in a serious mess!

If you believe that Peter can still perform better as a Nigeria president, chat with Me, my number is on the signature. our initiative and let's discuss.

God Bless President Bola Tinubu
God Bless Federal Republic of Nigeria

The more you know, the less you see, those deceiving us know, but as for me I am yown hoy

Lol.

Nigerians are the most unreasonable people on earth.
A company just started functioning and you're expecting competitive pricing already. It's expectations like this that made the refinery comatose in the first instance. If it was a private refinery, will they be saying the same.

At least let the refinery stabilize first before you start expecting a more competitive pricing. Or they should make losses because it's the government?

We really need to stop dishing out what we can't take. You can't keep bullying the government to submission because you have access to the media and you know people already have their doubts about the government.
