The Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) on Monday, faulted the 48-hour ultimatum issued by the Department of State Services (DSS) that oil marketers make Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as petrol available for Nigerians.
This was known by PETROAN Chairman, System 2E, Eastern Zone, Sunny Nkpe, and former President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Peter Esele while speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme, monitored by RoyalFM News.
Recall that the DSS had on Thursday directed oil marketers and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited to resolve the fuel crisis biting Nigerians, saying failure to comply will make the agency activate its operations across the country.
The former President of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Peter Esele, who commended the DSS for issuing an ultimatum, he, however, urged them to go after the cartel operating among private depot owners hoarding the essential commodity, fuel scarcity and long queues will persist.
In his remarks, the Chairman Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria, System 2E, Eastern Zone, Sunny Nkpe, speaks on the difference in the price of fuel.
The PETROAN Chairman however said, that the prices at which the fuel is purchased differs. He said,”the difference in prices is that we are currently buying at 220 to 230, so if we are buying directly from our location or from allocated products from NNPC, of course we will be buying at the approved price of 148.71k”
