The „Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency“ (PPPRA) is regulator and supervidor for the downstream market for liquid fuels in Nigeria. The PPPRA website offers plenty of information regarding fuel pricing policies, legislative and administrative framework and actual price compositions (http://www.pppra-nigeria.org).
PPPRA calculates „expected open market“ retail prices for all liquid fuels. The downstream sector is privatized in Nigeria. While there is a liberal, non-subsidized pricing for diesel, gasonline prices are regulated and immensely subsidized by the government (see 2.). However, an „Expected Open Market Price“ for gasoline (without subsidies) is published as well (see 1., 2-year-trend), so the extent of subsidies on gasoline can be recognized by customers. Pricing templates are published on a daily basis!
The „Petroleum Support Fund“ (PSF) basically finances the subsidy of gasoline. It is also stated, that PSF is being used for flattening volatile world market prices using a slate-calculation: A clearance between actual prices and calculated prices is being done between PSF and the distributors.
The pricing structure includes several taxes; However, all taxes have been zero as of Feb.2011.
The overall cost and pricing structure is quite powerful, as it accounts for future eventualities as the end of fuel subsidies, imposing of taxes and the deregulation or regulation of fuel types.
"Gasoline prices are uniform, controlled by government, and only infrequently adjusted. The gasoline price was ₦65 a liter between Aug 2005 (US$0.50) and Dec 2011 (US$0.41), except in 2007 and 2008 when it was raised to ₦70 a liter. Diesel prices have been deregulated for years. A Jun 2009 presidential directive deregulated the price of kerosene for household use, but Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) continues to sell kerosene at a heavily subsidized price of ₦50 (US$0.32) a liter and receive reimbursement from government. Gasoline pricing has been highly politicized in Nigeria and labor unions strongly oppose deregulation. Government removed the gasoline subsidy on Jan 1, 2012 and allowed the retail price to rise to ₦141 (US$0.89) a liter, but reduced it to ₦97 (US$0.61) following widespread protests. A market with deregulated diesel and regulated gasoline prices is unusual, leading to much greater apparent consumption of gasoline than diesel. According to IEA data, the gasoline-to-diesel consumption ratio increased from 2 in 2000 to 7 in 2010, nearly triple the second highest ratio in the world (United States) and possibly suggesting increasing smuggling of subsidized gasoline.

Fuel Price Composition
Price composition for one litre of Gasoline 95 Octane as of 2011/02/01.
(1 US$=151.28 NGN)
- „Vessel Transport/Depot“ costs include vessel financing costs (2.25NGN/litre), lightering costs (3.56 NGN/litre), a Nigerian Ports Authority duty (0,6 NGN/litre), the main depot („Jetty depot“) throughput charge (0,8 NGN/litre) and a main depot storage charge (3,00 NGN/litre).
- Diesel (referred to as „AGO“) is not subsidized. Therefore, expected diesel pump prices are about twice the price of gasoline.
- There is currently no taxation on diesel and gasoline.
