PMS Prices Determined By Market Forces, No Price Deal With IPMAN – NNPC
By Kayode Sanni-Arewa
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited has debunked claims that it reached an agreement with the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), on the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), commonly known as petrol, saying fuel prices are now determined by market forces.
Reports credited to IPMAN President, Abubakar Maigandi had stated that NNPC agreed to reduce the ex-depot price of petrol for its members from N958 per litre to N955 per litre.
Refuting the claim in a statement on Wednesday, the Chief Corporate Communications Officer of the national oil company, Olufemi Soneye, emphasised that under the current deregulated regime, fuel prices are determined by free market forces, as provided for in the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA), 2021 rather than by agreements.
Refuting any form of price deal with Marketers, Soneye said NNPC had only provided a one-time N3 discount to marketers with funds deposited at NNPC to facilitate fuel lifting and prevent shortage, saying the initiative “was a temporary measure”.
Maintaining that prices are still determined by market forces, not by NNPC Ltd, Soneye said, “The market has been deregulated, meaning that petrol prices are now determined by market forces rather than by the government or NNPC Ltd.
“There is no price agreement between IPMAN, NNPC, or any marketer. The market forces determine prices under the current deregulated regime.”
