NNPCL collected products through Dangote at a lower rate, which is not up to N900. But they are telling us to go and buy this product from them at the rate of N1,110 in Lagos, N1,045 in Calabar, N1,040 in Port Harcourt, N1050 in Warri.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur money is with them. We tell them that they should rather sell it at the rate Dangote is selling it or they should return our money back to our various accounts. We are asking them to sell it the way Dangote is selling. We are Nigerians like they are.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf they sell it the same way Dangote is selling, we may decide to sell our own at N1,020 or N1,010 and create some kind of competition. Because any reduction in money is a difference,\u201d Garima said.<\/p>\n<p>Complete Deregulation of Downstream Sector<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the IPMAN president stated that the recent price adjustment signals a full deregulation of the downstream sector.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that with the deregulation, and NNPC no longer being the sole importer of petrol or the exclusive off-taker from the Dangote refinery, competition is expected to emerge in the sector.<\/p>\n<p>He added that marketers now have the opportunity to source their petrol, either through direct importation or purchases from the Dangote refinery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow that the downstream sector is fully deregulated, we independent marketers will be fully engaged in the business. Before it was only NNPC bringing this product.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt the same time, it\u2019s only NNPC that has an offtake in Dangote refinery. We can use any vessel because we are allowed to go and import ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNormally, the reason we have a lot of challenges is because before it\u2019s only NNPC that is allowed to bring it, and the only one that are able to buy from Dangote refinery. But with this current arrangement whereby Dangote will buy in naira and sell in naira, Dangote will give us this product directly, not through the NNPC,\u201d he added.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has criticized the recent hike in petrol prices, accusing the national oil company, NNPC, of wanting to sell fuel to them at&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":111656,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114638","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
