Since the Driver was going to get fuel and associated matters, I asked him to please help me buy Ribena too (The initial plan was for me to buy it later in the evening when we go for a stroll).
He showed up with a "nylon bag" full of Ribena in pieces and I was shocked! I managed to say a decent "Thank you", though I had to ask if the cartons of Ribena had finished in the store. He said he didn't ask...Huh? I'm sure he has helped me carry millions of cartons of Ribena...The extra 250 Naira I wanted to use to buy The Punch and write a commentary has been in Ribena...
So, please take this update as today's commentary...Plus, fuel supply is now regular while the price SHOULD make us find cheaper energy sources. We should be buying vehicles that run on something other than PMS. We should find CHEAP alternatives, abeg.
We also need an update on our existing and "new" refineries. We need an update on the Petroleum Industry bill. I'll like NPA and NIMASA fees to be merged into ONE in that PPPRA pricing template.
Why are we paying #6 for Retailers, #3.36 for Transporters Allowance, #2.36 for Dealers, #6.20 for Bridging Fund (what is this Bridging Fund? Is it still relevant in a deregulated economy?). What is the Marine Transport Average for? Which Admin Charge again?
The Retail Price Band is 135-145 Naira. How much did you buy fuel yesterday? How easy was it to get the fuel?
By next week, I'll start a #CountDownToOneYearInOffice where we'll dispassionately assess each sector of the economy and tell ourselves a few home truths...
