FUEL DISTRIBUTION IN NIGERIA: PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS

(A CASE STUDY OF NNPC ENUGU DEPOT)

 

ABSTRACT

The research seek to study fuel distribution in Nigeria: Problems and solutions. A case study of NNTE Enugu Depot. The major objective of the study is to determine solutions to fuel distribution problems. The study is generally descriptive. The major findings of the study are as follows:

1. Inadequate maintenance of pipelines  equipment and pumps lends to fuel shortages.
2. Delivery of right quantity and quality of petroleum products to filling stations promoted effective supply of fuel. The conclusion drawn from this study is that, maintenance of pi0pelines equipment and pumps enhances fuel distribution.

Equally, delivery of right quantity and quality of petroleum products to filling stations promotes effective supply of fuel.

CHAPTER ONE

 

1.    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Initially, before the construction of refineries, petroleum used in Nigeria were imported by international oil marketers popularly known as big 8. They are total, Agip, Texaco, Unipetrol, African Petroleum (AP) National, Mobil and …petroleum. They import market petroleum product and also distribute them. But when refineries were built to produce local petroleum products  that will argument the imported ones, it later became necessary for government  to take over the importation of petroleum  products from oil marketers and thus the resultant setting up of pipeline and product marketing company (PPMC) and independent oil marketers in the early 80’s Nigerians who can afford to construct petrol stations were granted marketers licence by an agent of the federal government  (Dept. of petroleum resources) to join in the distribution of petroleum product in Nigeria under independent oil marketers status and ADONRI DAVID Vanguard control of national resources.

Today, the indigenous companies known as independent oil marketers are competing favourably with the big 8 in the distribution of petroleum products. That is because the operation of independent oil marketers cover across the linter lands of the Nigerian communities PPMC set by Nigerian government through the arm of NNPC  constructed depots and pipelines across the nation. Linking the depots and  refineries, depot to depot and refinery to refinery.

Talking about petroleum product distribution in Nigeria by PPMC, we have three major means by which these products are distributed. The first one is through the pipeline running to the refineries to depots and from depot to depots.

 

The second one is by tankers through the road and the last is through railways coaches.

 

1.2     STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

The researcher, seek to study fuel distribution in Nigeria problems and solutions.

Generally, there has been the problem of fuel scarcity up-till now. This is because of uneven distribution of fuel in the country. Since the country had been experiencing fuel shortages, it is important to identify the problems encountered in the distribution of fuel and also to determine the possible solution to fuel scarcity said Mbagron 10, 2001, which he titled economic of resources control.

 

1.3     OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The specific objectives of the study includes the following:

1. To identify how fuel is distributed  by NNPC
2. To determine the problems encountered in fuel distribution
3. To determine the causes(s) of fuel distribution problem
4. To determine solutions to fuel distribution problems.
