Fuel Import: FG Working Against Local Refineries – Operators Allege
Several operators of local refineries have expressed dissatisfaction with the recent announcement by the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), indicating that the Federal Government intends to persist with fuel imports, suggesting a stance against the local refining sector.
Naija News reports that the operators, represented by the Crude Oil Refiners Association of Nigeria, have voiced concerns over a recent interview with the Chief Executive Officer of NMDPRA, Ahmed Farouk.
In the interview, Farouk was quoted as characterizing locally produced diesel as ‘inferior’ compared to imported alternatives.
Furthermore, it was reported on Friday that the Federal Government, through NMDPRA, has affirmed its commitment to the continued importation of refined petroleum products alongside the production efforts of the Dangote Petroleum Refinery.
This decision aims to prevent monopoly and ensure the energy supply’s security.
The government has also cautioned against excessive reliance on the $20 billion refinery in the Lekki Free Zone in Lagos, emphasizing that the refinery’s demand for all oil marketers to source their products from the facility could hinder competition.
In an interview with journalists in Port Harcourt, the capital of Rivers State, Farouk was alleged to have made a statement regarding the quality of diesel produced by certain local refineries, which he described as inferior to imported diesel, a statement that has caused distress among local refiners.
In response to the regulatory stance, the Indigenous crude oil refiners have declared that the government’s position appears to favour imported fuels over local production.
The Publicity Secretary of the Crude Oil Refiners Association of Nigeria, Eche Idoko, said, “We are worried that the Chief Executive of NMDPRA would make such categorical statements, suggesting strongly that he is taking sides. So much so that he even ridicules his own agency’s processes when he refers to the petroleum products produced by refineries that his agency closely regulates as inferior, thereby undermining the country’s health and safety procedures. This has huge implications for the oil and gas industry, and energy security in Nigeria.”
