IPMAN: Dangote Fuel Prices Higher Than Others, We Need to Help Nigerians

The price of fuel from Dangote Refinery was greater than the price of the product from other suppliers as of last week, according to a statement released on Friday by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, or IPMAN. In addition to saying that members must feel sorry for Nigerians, IPMAN advised them to move where the prices are lower and they can make money. This was said by IPMAN’s National Assistant Secretary Yakubu Suleiman on Friday during an interview with Arise Television’s Morning Show. Suleiman maintained that Dangote should be revealing the amount he plans to sell his commodity, arguing that worldwide pricing sets the price of petroleum products. “International pricing determines prices,” he stated. Dangote should be stating, “This is the price,” on a daily basis. This product will be sold by me. However, unless he (Dangote) engages the stakeholders, he will not be able to accomplish it. Furthermore, you cannot just state, “Okay, we can only purchase from his own depot.” “IPMAN cannot simply decide to tell its members to go to the Dangote Refinery, buy their products, and then load up.” We can’t just do that. The system in question is deregulated.We must source from places where goods are significantly less expensive. After that, we would advise our members to go load the merchandise in any depot where it is less expensive. Let’s imagine that Dangote sells a product for N1000, while other retailers sell it for N900. We cannot simply state for the sake of saying “All right, go ahead and do it.” We are doing business with Dangote. We don’t make money from it. We have to move where the cost is lower and we can make money. That’s it. “We are in a deregulated economy, but Dangote is like trying to monopolize the whole issue,” the IPMAN scribe continued. Alright. Tell us if the entire system is monopolized. However, we think deregulation is now the norm. Dangote is more expensive than other areas, just like it was last week. Because crude has already begun to decline in price, if you can judge that from the global pricing.

Breaking: The NEC has advised the withdrawal of President Tinubu’s tax reform bills.

The National Executive Council (NEC) has recommended withdrawing the four tax reform bills submitted to Parliament by President Bola Tinubu. This decision was made during a meeting at the Presidential Villa on Thursday, chaired by Vice President Kashim Shettima, and included governors from all 36 states. Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde, who spoke to reporters after the meeting, explained that the NEC called for the withdrawal to allow for broader consultations and to build consensus around the proposed reforms. The bills have sparked controversy, particularly with the Northern Governors Forum opposing them. These four bills were part of President Tinubu’s initiative to revamp Nigeria’s tax system. They aim to establish a central revenue service responsible for collecting all government revenues, including those currently managed by agencies like customs and the ports authority. Additionally, the bills propose allocating a larger share of VAT revenues to states, which has raised concerns among northern leaders who believe it could disadvantage their region. During the meeting, the NEC emphasized the importance of alignment among stakeholders regarding these reforms, acknowledging existing miscommunication. A spokesperson for President Tinubu previously stated that the proposed laws would not increase current tax rates but would instead streamline and enhance the existing tax framework. The reforms are designed to ensure a fairer distribution of tax responsibilities without adding to the burden on citizens, and they are not expected to lead to job losses. In fact, they aim to create new job opportunities by fostering a dynamic, growth-oriented economy. Currently, tax administration suffers from a lack of coordination among federal, state, and local authorities, which leads to confusion and inefficiency. The proposed laws aim to improve this situation by harmonizing revenue collection and management across all levels of government, without eliminating the functions of any existing agencies.

Regarding the controversial derivation-based VAT distribution model, the spokesperson stated that the new approach intends to create a fairer system. It considers the place of supply or consumption, ensuring that states in the Northern region that produce essential goods do not lose out due to VAT exemptions or consumption in other areas. The ongoing tax reform seeks to address the inequities in the current model for distributing VAT revenues. We Love To Have You Back. Pease kindly Provide Us With Your Email.
