燃料短缺促使尼日利亚提高第二季度汽油进口配额

据海外媒媒体4月2日阿布贾报道，尼日利亚国家燃料进口监管机构在阿布贾披露，

由于尼日利亚寻求避免再一次燃料短缺，尼日利亚日前提高了第二季度的汽油进口配额。

尼日利亚在过去一个多月里一直在寻求解决燃料短缺的问题，而业内消息人士把燃料短缺的原因归咎于独立燃料营销商从尼日利亚石油产品定价监管机构的第一季度进口配额中撤退。

尼日利亚石油产品定价监管机构是尼日利亚向贸易商支付补贴的监管机构。

尼日利亚石油产品定价监管机构发言人LanreOladele在接受普氏能源资讯记者采访时表示，根据第二季度进口计划，尼日利亚颁发了350万吨汽油的进口许可证，第二季度汽油进口配额比第一季度增加了50万吨。

发言人说，汽油进口配额颁发给了尼日利亚国家石油公司和其他私人燃料市场营销商。

Nigeria's Q2 gasoline import allocations rise amid fuel shortage concerns

Abuja

Nigeria has increased its gasoline import allocations for the second quarter from the previous quarter as it seeks to avoid another fuel shortage, a spokesman for the state fuel import regulatory agency said Thursday.

Nigeria has been battling fuel shortages for more than a month, and industry sources blamed the withdrawal of independent fuel marketers from the first-quarter import allocation program of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency, the country's regulator, which pays a subsidy to traders.

Nigeria has issued import permits for 3.5 million mt of gasoline under the second-quarter import program, from 3 million mt in the first quarter, PPPRA spokesman LanreOladele told Platts.

The allocation was issued to state oil firm Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and other private fuel marketers, Oladele said.
