The Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) has faulted claims by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited that Nigerians consume “60 million litres of petrol daily”. Hammed Ali, comptroller-general, Nigeria Customs

September 2, 2022 8:26 AM

Ali said he wondered “why NNPC, which put Nigeria’s daily fuel consumption at 60 million litres, lifts 98 million litres into the market”. “Scientifically, you cannot tell me that if I fill my tank today, tomorrow, I will fill the same tank with the same quantity of fuel.“If I am operating a fuel station today and I go to Minna depot, lift petrol and take it to Kaduna, I may get to Kaduna in the evening and offload that fuel. There is no way I would have sold off that petrol immediately to warrant another load.

He also explained that the service was not remitting its operating surplus of seven percent because it is used for operations and payment of its staff members’ salaries.
