Greed, profiteering fingered in bad fuel import

12:56pm, Thursday, 10'th Feb 2022 BusinessDay
Greed and excessive profiteering are to blame for the scandal that has been associated with the revelation that a group of contractors to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation imported the wrong specification of petrol into the country last month. The off-spec petrol came in from traders in Belgium with mainly methanol which the importers knew is about 50 percent cheaper than the usual grade of petrol allowable in Nigeria and gives them room for profit maximisation, sources say. A BusinessDay investigation that involved speaking to well-informed private and government officials involved in the downstream sector of the petroleum industry, showed that the bid was a deliberate ploy to make a huge profit. According to one source, the people who did this knew exactly what they were doing. They knew that Nigeria does not test and if the methanol proportion had not been excessive, it would have passed without much fuss. Press reports say the president Muhammadu Buhari who many do not remember is also the Petroleum Minister, is said to be angry but it is unclear against whom his anger is directed.

Kyari says methanol was discovered in all four PMS cargoes imported by DSDP suppliers including MRS and Oando. The Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), Mele Kyari says DSDP suppliers are responsible for the importation of adulterated petrol into the country. Kyari said the contaminated fuel was imported into the country through the Direct Sales Direct Purchase (DSDP) arrangement. According to him, the DSDP suppliers are NNPC subsidiaries which include MRS, Oando, Emadeb Consortium, and Duke Oil. MRS had in a statement on Wednesday, February 9, 2022, accused the NNPC of importing the adulterated fuel into the country through one of its subsidiaries, Duke Oil. “Due to the current subsidy regime, NNPC is the sole importer of all PMS in Nigeria. Consequently, NNPC, through their trading arm Duke Oil, supplied a cargo of PMS purchased from international trader Litasco and delivered it with the Motor Tanker (MT), Nord Gainer,” the statement reads. Following the accusation, Kyari while addressing journalists on Wednesday night said methanol was discovered in all four PMS cargoes imported by DSDP suppliers, including MRS.
