6.6 Pipelines Product Marketing Company

Reorganization within the NNPC was imminent. In 1988, the Pipelines Product Marketing Company (PPMC) was established as a subsidiary of the NNPC to ensure the availability of petroleum products all over the country. This institution remains directly responsible for ensuring the effective supply of fuel to consumers across the country at the government prescribed price (an arrangement shrouded in complexities). Clearly, the agency has failed to discharge this core function. Evidence of a lopsided distribution approach has characterized the supply of fuel in Nigeria. The PPMC acts as a strategic business organ of the NNPC , administered to align with the management culture of total quality pursuant to NNPC directive.

The agency is mandated, among other things, to: Ensure security of supply of petroleum products to the domestic market at low operating costs, market special products competitively in the domestic and international markets, provide excellent customer service by effectively and efficiently transporting crude oil to the refineries and moving petroleum products to the market.24
