Oil marketers propose how FG can reduce Petrol cost by N49 per Litre for Nigerians.

Federal Government Reduces Petrol Price To N121.50klitre

Oil marketers suggest that blending ethanol with Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), better known as petrol, can significantly reduce the cost of petrol nationwide, potentially lowering it by N49 per litre.

This situation arises due to the prevailing scarcity issues and the re-emergence of extended queues in various regions of the country.

MOMAN highlighted that the addition of ethanol to petrol could lead to a significant reduction in the pump price.

After President Bola Tinubu's decision to eliminate the fuel subsidy in May 2023, the cost of petrol has experienced at least two significant fluctuations.

Currently, petrol prices vary across the country, with rates ranging between N580 and N617 per litre, depending on the location.

This development coincides with oil marketers' warnings of a potential surge in fuel prices to N800 per litre in the forthcoming weeks. They cite the rising landing cost as a critical factor behind this anticipated increase.

Marketers advocate ethanol-petrol blend The Punch reports that the recommendation was made during the BusinessDay/Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria Policy Intervention Series on Alternative Fuel in Lagos.

As stated by the marketers, incorporating ethanol into gasoline offers a substantial opportunity for savings for both the Federal Government and consumers.

During the workshop, Clement Isong, the Executive Secretary of the Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN), highlighted that adding ethanol to petrol could significantly reduce the pump price.

He said: "We all know that everyone is currently complaining about the high price of petrol, however, blending ethanol with petrol is one of the ways to bring down prices by up to N49 per litre. This practice can also support local farming and agro-processing industries, particularly using abundant resources like cassava."

Going by Isong's recommendation, if the current official pump price of N617 per litre by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited is reduced by N49, consumers will be able to buy the product for about N568 per litre.

The reduction in production expenses will directly influence the prices borne by consumers at fuel stations, providing a much-needed respite for Nigerians dealing with inflation and the escalating cost of daily life.

Advantages of ethanol in petrol Ethanol's utilization as a fuel source for internal combustion engines, whether used independently or in conjunction with other fuels, has garnered significant attention primarily due to its potential environmental benefits and long-term economic advantages compared to fossil fuels.

Ethanol can be mixed with petrol in various ratios, ranging from pure ethanol (E100) to blends with anhydrous ethanol, which is ethanol without water. These blends serve the dual purpose of curbing the consumption of petroleum fuels and mitigating air pollution.

We will establish more Passport Offices in Nigeria and abroad by February next year - FG

Nigeria’s Minister of Interior, Dr. Olubunmi Tunji Ojo, has said that the Federal Government has plans to ensure that several passport offices are opened around the country, as well as abroad, so that there will be easy collection of passports for Nigerians at home and in diaspora. Tunji-Ojo, said that the creation of multiple offices will make it easier to process passport requests and will reduce the demand of passports, and will in turn, reduce the corruption in which people exploit Nigerians in order to get passports for them. “On the issue of Nigerians in diaspora, we are working very hard on that. I will tell you the major problem. The major problem with diaspora is I will give you an example of Canada… Canada is the second biggest nation on earth in terms of land mass, only second to Russia. Now, Canada has only one passport office, that is unacceptable. And of course, government might not be able to afford creating passport offices all over and whatever, but we have to look at
