My people, make I yarn you one serious matter wey dey hot for fuel market! You fit remember say Dangote Refinery don dey control fuel distribution for Naija. But dem don raise flag say, if marketers no careful, coastal loading go make fuel price blow like bubu.
As per wetin dem talk, Dangote refinery get world-class gantry wey fit load 2,900 tankers every day, and dem dey process over 50 million litres of petrol and 14 million litres of diesel day and night. Na wah o! Dem talk say gantry loading na the best way to carry fuel, e go save us plenty money as e no go involve those extra charges wey dey vex us.
But here be di gist: for marketers wey dey think say coastal delivery go make dem shine like gold, make dem check am well! E fit add about N75 to petrol price, and if dem carry that cost come give us for pump, we fit dey pay close to N1,000 per litre. Abeg, who wan pay that kain money?
Dangote don dey shine light on di benefits of local refining. Di price wey we dey pay for diesel don drop from N1,700 to N980, while petrol don also come down from N1,250 to N839. E be like magic, but na hard work dey behind am!
Na so Dangote talk am say if dem no do anything about di coastal loading, we fit dey see fuel wahala for dis country. E mean say, the average daily consumption fit give us extra bill of N1.752 trillion yearly. My people, abeg no let dat one fool you o!
This one dey make sense, and e mean say marketers must prioritize cheaper loading options if dem wan make sure say everybody fit afford petrol. Na so we go sabi the road get better if every marketer follow dis plan wey Dangote dey run.
But dem still talk say if coastal delivery necessary, no wahala, as e dey available, but dem caution say gantry loading still be di best way for economic reason. Na so marketers go sabbi to select their evacuation methods well.
In conclusion, make we shine our eyes as Dangote dey push for pipeline infrastructure wey go link refineries to depots. This one go help us cut down costs and ensure say we dey get fuel without stress. Make we dey watch as the naira dey stabilize, as e don dey trade about N1,385 to dollar. Na real gbege wey we go avoid!
