We’re Selling Petrol At Half The Landing Cost, But It’s Not A Subsidy – NNPC
The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Ltd has clarified that it is currently selling petrol (Premium Motor Spirit, PMS) at only half of its landing cost.
Speaking in Abuja on Monday, NNPC’s Chief Financial Officer, Umar Ajiya, emphasized that the company is covering what he termed as a “shortfall” rather than offering a subsidy.
Ajiya revealed that while the official pump price of petrol is around ₦600 per litre, the actual landing cost is closer to ₦1,200 per litre.
He confirmed to Bloomberg that NNPC has spent ₦7.8 trillion in the first seven months of 2024 to cover this shortfall.
Although subsidy typically means selling a product below cost price, Ajiya was keen to distinguish this situation from a traditional subsidy.
Despite internal communications between NNPC and the presidency—seen by TheCable—using the term “subsidy” to describe the shortfall, Ajiya denied that NNPC is engaged in subsidizing petrol during a media briefing on the company’s 2023 audited financial statements.
He stated that NNPC is merely managing the difference between the landing cost and the selling price in coordination with the Federation.
