In a recent statement, NNPC Ltd, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, provided concise explanations for the Federal Government’s decision to remove fuel subsidies and the subsequent increase in petrol prices. Addressing concerns surrounding this economic development, NNPC shed light on the key factors driving the decision and outlined measures to protect consumers amidst the changes.
According to NNPC, as of March 2023, the Federal Government owed the company a substantial sum of N2.8 trillion. This financial burden played a significant role in the decision to eliminate fuel subsidies, as the government aimed to address its outstanding debts and stabilize the economy. NNPC emphasized that prices would no longer be fixed, allowing market forces to determine petrol prices in real-time.

While the removal of fuel subsidies and subsequent price hike may have imposed hardships on many Nigerians already struggling to make ends meet, the government, led by President Bola Tinubu, has consistently advocated for subsidy removal. However, concerns over the negative economic impact on citizens and businesses remain unaddressed.
Regarding the question of whether NNPC will remain the sole supplier of petrol, the company responded negatively, citing legislation that restricts any player in the sector from controlling more than 30% of the market. This implies that other entities, including the Dangote Refinery and domestic refineries, will play a role in petrol supply to ensure availability and create employment opportunities for Nigerians.

To safeguard consumer interests, NNPC clarified that industry regulators such as the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA) and the Consumer Protection Council will assume responsibility for consumer protection. This ensures that measures are in place to prevent exploitation and maintain fair practices within the oil and gas industry.
As Nigeria transitions into a new era of fuel subsidy removal and market-driven pricing, the NNPC’s explanations aim to enlighten citizens about the government’s decision-making process. The company’s commitment to consumer protection and collaboration with regulatory bodies reflect efforts to mitigate the potential challenges associated with these changes.
