Fuel Marketers Urge President To Investigate Scarcity by mrpackager(m): 6:16am On Jul 09, 2015


SAD at the persisting scarcity of petroleum products in
the country, especially in the South East zone,
marketers at the Aba depot in Abia State, under the
aegis of concerned members of the Independent
Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN),
have urged President Muhammadu Buhari to
investigate the problem.

In a statement, the Aba Depot IPMAN Chairman, Levi
Amah, said it is worrisome that contrary to the
assurances by officials of Pipelines and Product
Marketing Company (PPMC), members still face
difficulties procuring the products, since they have to
get them from outside the zone.

“For the umpteenth time, officials of PPMC have
assured us of availability of products but we did not
see any. This makes us travel as far as Lagos, with its
attendant risks, to buy products that we would
ordinarily get in Aba.”

Amah also described as untrue and flimsy the
statement by some people that the scarcity was being
caused by the old and rustic pipelines conveying the
products from Port Harcourt to Aba.

According to him, some petroleum engineers have
insisted that such pipes could last over 150 years
before getting rust and out of use.

More so, “blaming the scarcity on pipelines vandalism
amounts to buck passing because the pipelines are
being guarded by a combined team of security men.
Pipeline vandalism in this wise could only be possible
with the connivance of security agencies, unless they
are indicting the personnel of these agencies,” he said.
Consequently, the group implored President Buhari to
include the Aba Depot among the areas he would
investigate when he begins his oil sector reforms.

How e go fit? That man has put Nigeria on an Auto-pilot mode. I just pray we all get a hold of what is going on and get back on the right track. Mr. President is busy aspiring for the meeting with Obama as if that Obama is the messiah change chanters voted for.
