The Federal Government will divert N457bn provided for petrol subsidy in the budget to other sectors of the economy, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mele Ky

ari, has said.

“That means that you have the cross-border issues, which is because you are selling fuel at a lower price than the market price and we are therefore practically supplying fuel to the whole of West Africa. The NNPC boss explained that the downstream oil sector would still need a regulator despite the halt in subsidy.

He also insisted that there would be no conversation about coming back to the fuel subsidy regime anymore, stressing that the PPPRA would modulate prices and provide a band going forward. “Ultimately, the band keeps moving. It can go down or up but it will create space for competition and you could see people selling below the band, especially those who have excellent procurement processes,” the GMD stated.On complaints by marketers that stakeholders were not carried along before the decision on subsidy removal was taken, the NNPC boss stated that the situation did not warrant the involvement of other players since NNPC was the sole importer of petrol into Nigeria.

This new GMD NNPC is doing a great job. Kudos!

This sector must be deserved, better, everyone mostly ordinary and middle Nigerian.

That's good idea

No one has come to tell us that subsidy has been removed since crude oil price has been slashed

Check those sectors we'll before diverting the subsidy so as to avoid corruption

Which sectors and why

NNPCgroup why can't Nigeria just sell off our four refineries? If there is one thing we get from them, it's the huge losses it incurs. The workers are still being paid despite doing nothing productive.
