He said: “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 (PTDs) not to be
involved in the diversion of petroleum products in order to avoid causing untold hardship to
motorists.”

Role of the security agencies

Providing insight on the role of the security
agencies in curbing product diversion, Managing
Director of the Pipelines and Products Marketing
Company, Mrs. Esther Nnamdi-Ogbue, said the DSS
and EFCC have been mobilized to bring to book any
marketer involved in sabotaging the efforts of the Federal Government in making petroleum products
available to motorists across the country.

She said: “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.”

She urged Nigerians and other motorists to desist
from panic buying assuring that there are sufficient
petroleum products to satisfy local consumption.

Meanwhile, giving breakdown of fuel supplied to
petrol stations, the NNPC stated that Suleja, Kaduna,
Kano, Minna, Gusau, Mosimi and Satelite depots
dispatched 7.398 million litres, 0.937 million litres,
4.4 million litres, 0.444 million litres, 0.939 million
litres, 4.351 million litres and 1.937 million litres respectively.
