Otedola and Marketers React to Tinubu's 15% Fuel Tariff, Concerns Over Price Hikes
Nigerian businessman Otedola and petroleum marketers, including PETROAN, react to Bola Tinubu's decision to impose a 15% import tariff on petrol and diesel. Otedola commends the move as a step to safeguard local industries but emphasizes that the tariff may lead to increased costs for consumers.
Billi Gilli Harri of PETROAN explains that the policy aims to protect local refineries but warns that careful management is needed to prevent destabilizing the downstream sector. The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has already reduced pump prices following the tariff introduction.
