The news has been making the rounds of the 10 Naira reduction in fuel price by the Federal government effective from today.
However, I really can't explain why I am not excited at the news. Could it be because I was expecting like a 50 Naira reduction or something?
Anyway, the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke announced the reduction and below is exactly what she said.
"As you may be aware, there has been a lot of volatility in the oil market in the past few months and due to this the importation prices of our petroleum products have been impacted.
Therefore, with the approval and directive of Mr. President and by virtue of Section 6 clause 1 of the Nigerian Petroleum Act, it is my responsibility as Minister of Petroleum Resources to hereby announce a reduction in the pump price of Petroleum Motor Spirit (Petrol) from the current Ninety Seven Naira (=N=97) per litre pump price down to Eighty Seven Naira (=N87=) per litre pump price, effective from twelve (12) midnight Sunday, 18th of January 2015.
Accordingly, I have directed the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA) and the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) to ensure strict compliance of this price adjustment by all marketing companies.
It is my hope that all Nigerians will benefit from this adjustment. I thank you and God Bless you all"
Well this news comes about 26 days to the presidential elections...#DiaRizGod o!
