Subsidy Removal: Petrol Prices Now Determined By Market Forces – NMDPRA

He also stated that the NMDPRA and the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission will mount aggressive monitoring of activities in the downstream sector to prevent profiteering by petroleum marketers.

On where the importers will source their forex from, Farouk said: “No. the CBN will not give dollar to anyone because it is an open market. Anyone willing to import should get the dollars from anywhere to import. Anyone willing to open a letter of credit from any part of the world can do that to import. That marketers can source their forex from anywhere is the beauty of the liberalised market that the NMDPRA has introduced based on the provision of the law.

He added: “This means that the price will no longer be static. It will depend on the international price of the gasoline market. But this does not imply that marketers can sell at any price. If we find that certain prices are way above the expected profit margin, we and the FCCPC can move in to curb such excesses because that will be profiteering. The market structure will dictate the price swings at every point in time.
