Fuel has always been an integral component of
our lives in Nigeria.
The unfaltering challenges with
power supply and distribution faced over the
years by Nigerians has resulted in us being
especially dependent on petrol and diesel for
running generators in the homes and workplaces.
The cost of running a 150KVA generator for
business operations from 8am to 5pm is
substantial.
The average fuel usage for running a 9-5 is at 85
to 95 liters’ a day with a normal price of N135 (One
Hundred and Thirty Five Naira) per litre which
equals to about N12, 000 every day.
In these
climes, with its scarcity being the order of the day,
fuel is practically liquid gold… a rare and precious asset. Imagine having to spend triple the amount of the
average fuel consumption per day, 12,000
multiplied by 3 that is N36, 000 just on fuel for one
day.
Let’s not even go into how much diesel would
cost. Businesses have had to put a halt on
operations due to this current fuel’s scarcity; banks are shutting down at 1pm just to save up fuel for
the next day’s operations. Sad as it may be every
other aspect of lives has been tremendously
affected by this situation.
The last thing you want
to worry about is a dishonest staff smuggling your
precious “Liquid gold” Across small and large businesses alike, it is commonplace for staff involved in running the generators to engage in theft of resources or facilitate leakages in the operating process.
A typical instance is where the fuel supplier connives with the administrative staff or security to supply less than the agreed amount and the price differential is shared amongst the involved fraudsters.
This increases the cost of production and decreases operational efficiency of the said establishment.
How can you curb this pilferage? Is it possible to conveniently monitor your “liquid gold?” For the majority of those that are heavily reliant on generators for power, you could be saving a significant percentage of your fuel expenses by wisely investing in a Fuel Monitoring solution.
