The Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation has engaged the
Department of State Security
Services and the Economic and
the Financial Crimes Commission
to stop the hoarding and
diversion of petroleum products.
This is contained in a statement
issued by NNPC’s Group General
Manager, Group Public Affairs
Division, Ohi Alegbe, in Abuja on
Wednesday.
The arrangement was to assist in
the monitoring of nationwide fuel
truck-out to retail outlets and to
stop hoarding by unscrupulous
marketers.
Mr. Alegbe said NNPC was doing
everything possible to normalise
fuel supply and distribution
situation in the country.
The NNPC also apologised to
commuters, motorists and the
general public for the hardship
faced in accessing petrol across
the country.
It said the Group Executive
Director Commercial and
Investment of NNPC, Babatunde
Adeniran, during a visit to NNPC
depot in Suleja, warned
marketers against sharp practices.
“Any marketer found wanting in
the sale of petroleum products,
including the NNPC retail outlets,
would be sanctioned
appropriately.
“There will be no sacred cows as
the corporation is working round
the clock by supplying sufficient
petroleum products to marketers
to ensure that Nigerians enjoyed a
yuletide season without pain.
“We must all make sure that
petroleum products get across to
Nigerians at the regulated price,
especially as the yuletide season
approaches.
“We have enough products and
we want to plead with the
Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD)
not to be involved in the diversion of
petroleum products in order to avoid causing
untold hardship to motorists.”
The Managing Director of the Pipelines and
Products Marketing Company, Esther Nnamdi-
Ogbue, said defaulters would be sanctioned.
“The DSS and EFCC will arrest any marketer
involved in sabotaging government’s effort in
making petrol available to Nigerians,” Mr.
Alegbe said in the statement..
“We have invited the EFCC and DSS to join us
in this campaign of monitoring the movement
of petroleum products and they have our
mandate to sanction any errant marketer,
enough is enough.”
The NNPC urged Nigerians to desist from
panic buying, saying that there were sufficient
petroleum products to satisfy local
consumption.
