NNPC has agreed with me that they are not certain about the exact consumption figure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He said the truth was that if the country\u2019s petroleum products were smuggled outside the country, nobody could say what volume was involved today, tomorrow or next week, adding that NNPC could not say they know these figures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s more or less fueling a criminal economy. The NNPC imports the products, and nobody knows the exact destination of the products at the end of the day,\u201d Sylva stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThe imported products come to Nigeria, and from there filters out of our borders to neighbouring countries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, as a country, we cannot tell the exact volume of petroleum products that we consume on a daily basis. All we have been doing is to assume the level of consumption over a period and work with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He, however, expressed belief that the NNPC probably had a better answer to this, stressing that \u201cpersonally, I dont.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have said this publicly before that I don\u2019t know the figure. When I assumed office, initially I was told that our daily consumption was 66 million litres.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen, when fuel prices increased from N145 to N162, the consumption figure temporarily fell to about 40 something million litres per day, because the arbitrage opportunity reduced,\u201d Sylva stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cThen the value of the naira dropped again, and the number went up again to over 60 million litres. I am told the figure sometimes rise to as high as 90 or over 100 million litres. I don\u2019t know how that happens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt this rate, I have said if anyone is looking at a criminal enterprise, look no further than the fuel subsidy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This, the minister said, was why he had continued to advocate the removal of fuel subsidy from the country\u2019s PMS pricing template and deregulate.<\/p>\n<p>He said the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), had done everything to resolve the issue, including the closure of the country\u2019s borders with neighbouring countries, yet the criminality was not stopped.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is that what the President could do was to close the \u2018formal\u2019 borders. What about the illegal routes?,\u201d Sylva asked.<\/p>\n<p>On what could be done, the minister said if the subsidy component was taken out through deregulation, smuggling of PMS to neighbouring nations would cease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOf course, we need the market from there. But now we are punishing ourselves because every litre we import at our expense will always find its way outside the country,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cNow, the government is trying to subsidise our citizens so that our people will at least get the benefit of the subsidy on petroleum products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut, now because of how our borders are, it is very difficult. Now, we are inadvertently subsidising the whole of Africa. This is the thing we cannot handle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking on the matter, the Executive Secretary of the Major Oil Marketers of Nigeria, Clement Isong, told our correspondent that the cheap fuel in the country had remained an incentive to smugglers.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThe higher the price (of petrol) is outside the country and you see prices where they are in the country, the natural response is that normal people such as farmers, okada drivers, transporters, etc, will leave their jobs to go and sell petrol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is because of the mark-up. This is why, particularly in Abuja, you see many people carrying jerrycans of fuel selling them on major roads. This also plays along our borders.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor as long as the international price continues to rise and we keep our own prices where they are, what will happen is that those countries will suck the products out of Nigeria and you simply will not find the product in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Isong added, \u201cIf you go to those countries, the marketers there will tell you that they are unable to sell because of the product coming from Nigeria is killing their market. This happens in all the countries around Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He stated that the normal supply chain volumes would continue to go down because the products were leaving Nigeria, describing those smuggling out PMS as ordinary everyday citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is because they simply make more money buying from here at N162-N165\/litre and going across the border to sell at N500\/litre. It is more money for them and it is simply the law of economics, called arbitrage, which is a market distortion,\u201d Isong stated.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cAnd it is what the subsidy on petrol does on Nigeria, a market distortion. Something is worth N500 and you\u2019re selling at N200. Now where you\u2019re supposed to find it at N200 you will not see it because it has moved to where the actual value of N500 is.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis can also contribute to the scarcity we see in parts of Nigeria. That is why NNPC if it is meant to normally supply 60 million litres per day, for it to keep queues out of filling stations, it will have to increase its supply to 90 to 100 million litres. That\u2019s the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The MOMAN official said Nigeria must wean itself of fuel subsidy, \u201cbecause we are killing both our present and future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe simply cannot afford it. We are borrowing money for it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Government has disclosed that Nigeria as a country can not tell the exact volume of Premium Motor Spirit, popularly called petrol, which we consume on a daily basis.
