The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, has denied allegations making the rounds that the federal government may be paying subsidy on fuel imports to stabilise the price amidst forex fluctuations.

Kyari, who met with President Bola Tinubu on Monday, at the Presidential Villa, claimed that the market forces of demand and supply was simply playing out.

The NNPC GMD also disclosed that over 1.4 billion litres of fuel products are currently in stock, both marine and land.

He reasoned that the semblance of queues coming up in parts of the country may be due to little price differentials among the marketers, including poor road networks hampering the transportation of products across the country.

His words, โ€œThey have to reroute the trucks around many, many locations for them to be able to reach and that created delays and some supply gaps. But that has been filled and we do not see any of such problems again. And secondly, because of the full deregulation that we have in this sector, marketers are now competing amongst themselves.

โ€œSo you must have noticed some fuel stations will reduce prices by two and three naira, so customers will naturally run to those places where you have that reduction in prices. And that creates panic, because for those who donโ€™t know why they are doing it, they will think that thereโ€™s something wrong happening, or thereโ€™s an ominous sign of scarcity, or people will start queuing up in the fuel stations.

โ€œOtherwise, there is no challenge. Supply is robust. We have over 1.4 billion litres of product in our hands, both marine and land. Also, there are no issues with the delivery of those products onto the land. So there is no fearโ€”nothing to bother about. But we are also happy that the market forces are now playing out and marketers are competing and of course there are a few issues weโ€™re engaging them to resolve alongside other agencies of government and critical issues around access to foreign exchangeโ€.

Commenting on the challenges associated with accessing forex to facilitate product availability, Kyari said the government is working on modalities to ensure the supply of FX into the market.

He said the FX markets will stabilise, noting that the I&E window is currently around 770.

โ€œWe know that those inputs thatโ€™s already happening, the inputs of government today will crystallise, and they will also come to an equilibrium position in the FX market, and this is a dream of this country.

โ€œSo they will have a stable FX market and a stable product market where the prices of products will also speak to the prices of other commodities. And this is already manifesting, and we think this is the economic revolution that this country needs.โ€

On speculations about whether subsidy is back, he said, โ€œNo subsidy whatsoever. We are recovering our full costs from the products that we import. We sell to the market, and we understand why the marketers are unable to import.

โ€œWe hope that they do it very quickly, and these are some of the interventions the government is doing where there is no subsidy.โ€
