Asked about the exact date the price will become effective the Minister of State for Petroleum said: “Like I said before, we have done a modulation calculation and it is showing us below N87. I imagine that if PPPRA publishes it today, it will become effective immediately. But the 1st of January that is when we are looking at.”
Mr Kachikwu said: “It is out I signed off on Thursday. I imagined that in the next couple of days the marketers would get advice on that. The nice thing about the PPPRA, is that the price will be far below N87. So for the first time people will understand that the pricing modulation I was talking about is not a gimmick. It is for real.We have gone to find out how we will be able fluctuate this market to reflect what the reality of crude market is. The objective is that one, we cannot afford to continue to subsidize. We can’t even understand where those subsidies were going to. There is a lot of fraud elements in it so we need to cut that of. The second is the earning capacity of the Federal Government is deteriorating by the day with lower prices of crude and come out more.”
