So when you go ahead across the countries and establish fuel stations, except you are going to sell it at 162, then everybody will come to you. So as long as you are going to sell it at the market price \u2014 It is the same reason that is bringing them here to smuggle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAt the risk of being competitive, the people who take the product across the border will not sell at the official price because when you buy here at 162 at the official price, say in Niger is 400 \u2014 I don\u2019t know what the price is \u2014 maybe N400 per litre, that is why you buy at the fuel station. So when you establish a fuel station, you must sell at 400. But when the smugglers\u2026people hardly go to fuel station to buy fuel in Niger. So it is off the counter.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAs a matter of fact, we have thought of this, we are already engaging the national oil company of Niger, in particular, to establish NNPC retail fuel stations in the country but we are also cautious of the very fact that it can be bad business because you are going to compete with the people who are going to come\u2026 but it will be good business to do. Otherwise, we do not think that establishing a fuel station is the solution to containing smuggling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cAre we considering doing this? Yes, as a business. Is that something that will stop smuggling? Absolutely not, because those smugglers are not looking for a fuel that you will sell.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has stated that setting up filling stations in neighbouring countries will not stop petrol smuggling.
