CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

According to Harold Koontz and Heinz Weichuch in their book “Management” (ninth edition). They stipulated that management as the process of designing and maintaining an environment in which individuals, working together in groups accomplish efficiently selected aims. According to Kotler in his book. “The principles of marketing” a marketing distribution channel is a set of firms and individuals that take title or assist in transferring title to the particular goods and services as it moves from the producers to the consumers. Petroleum product was first introduce into the Nigeria in 1907 by Mobil. In 1957 crude oil from which petroleum products are refined was found in commercial quantities of Nigeria. Between 1908 and 1973, most of the white product i.e. Gasoline or petrol, Aviation Turbine kerosene (ATK), Household kerosene (HHK) and Gas oil commonly called Diesel were widely marketed by many multinationals like Shell, Texaco, ESSO, British petroleum etc. In 1965 British petroleum and shell established the first refinery in Nigeria. The 35,000 barrels per day refinery was located at Port Harcourt. During this period, crude oil production and petroleum product sales had became so significant to Nigerian economy in 1971, the federal government decided to actively participate in the oil business. The decree establishing the Nigeria national oil corporation (NNOC) was promulgated. The same year, Nigeria joined the organization of the petroleum exporting countries (OPEC). In 1973 the federal government also introduced the uniform price of petroleum products throughout the nation. The petroleum equalization fund brand was established to manage the fund.

However, between 1974 to 1976, Nigeria began to experience shortage for the first time. A research was made and it was discovered that the problems was that of both supply and distribution. It was also identified that tremendous growth had taken place in demand of all petroleum products. It was also identified that the cheapest and most efficient way of transporting large volume products i.e. liquids is by pipeline. Therefore government mandated the NNOC to commence the construction of a network of pipeline and two (2) refineries, one at Warri and one at Kaduna to ensure adequate supply of products throughout the nation. By 1978 after commissing of Warri refinery and the completion of the southern pipelines. The Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) the successor to NNOC took over the supply and distribution of all petroleum products. By 1980 Kaduna Refinery was commissioned and the Northern products pipelines and depots began to operate. The function of supply and distribution of petroleum products in bulk was performed by various department in NNPC. PPMC Enugu Depot was located at Emene Nike Enugu and commissioned in the year 1979.
