Barely a day after the 48-hour ultimatum by the Department of State Services, DSS, to stakeholders in the oil and gas industry, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited, NNPCL, has released 1.9 billion litres of petrol.

DSS had given the NNPCL, oil marketers and other stakeholders a 48-hour ultimatum to make PMS known as petrol, available for Nigerians.

This was contained in a briefing by the secret service spokesperson, Dr Peter Afunanya on Thursday.

In reaction to the ultimatum, the NNPC, Group Chief Executive Officer, Mallam Mele Kyari later announced the determination of the company to release the 1.9billion litres of fuel.

Kyari, who was represented by the NNPC Chief Financial Officer, Umar Ajiya assured Nigerians of the availability of Premium Motor Spirit, PMS.

“We have also directed operation team to engage in 24hours loading of PMS in the next couple of days and make sure some outlets operate 24hours without compromising security in order to bring quick relief to the people,” he stated.

Earlier, the Chief Executive, Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority, Engr. Farouk Ahmed pledged to collaborate with the NNPC and all stakeholders in order to make sure issues regarding supply of petroleum products are well addressed and to ensure smooth access.

Major stakeholders in the sector, the Depots and Petroleum Products Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN), Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN), Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO), Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) reiterated commitment to end the scarcity.

Just know that it took PMB/APC six good months to assemble these jokers. So the NNPC boss needed an ultimatum from DSS before they make petrol available to the masses.

Say no to APC & her murderous economic policy.

So DSS work reach this level? Well done.
2014 Allison was asked to come back to Nigeria as minister of Petroleum. Our present minister of Petroleum....

Me sef surprise sha!

Maybe, they are coming from the angle of National security

You know, if the fuel crisis lingers on, it might lead to resentment, protests against the government which if not handled well could as well lead to destruction of lives and properties

The nnpc have been hoarding the fuel so as to create an artificial inflation.What happen to the subsidy payment that the oil marketers receives?

If any oil marketers and nnpcl is found to be hoarding petroleum products the product should be dispense to the public free of charge.

So many witches and wizards in this government

Chai

Keke drivers plying ogba to ikeja no ready to drop transport fare

It is well

Everything about APC is intentional to suffer Nigerians

Hopefully it reliefs us ooooo

This is my problem with this country.
So it was possible to release that amount of PMS at a go, yet they kept hoarding it.

Why? Why? Is it a crime to be a Nigerian?

Nigerians are wicked
Some of them at least if not most

Yet they will turn and blame government for everything.

Why would some selfish and greedy persons hoard petroleum and make life hard for the rest of their country men.
Do other races treat each other like this?

Lol. So fear dey catch them true true.
Maybe the oil cabals didn't carry DSS along, lol.

Bia mods stop pushing all these boring topics to front page

Everyone in this country doesn't know their jobs. DSS under this Buhari is just unprofessional and lacks knowledge of everything he is supposed to do. Why don't you call every one of them by phone instead of coming out?

We are very wicked in this country.

Walai

Obi is not going to come in and do magic. Neither will Tinubu or Atiku..

The problem we have with fuel in Nigeria is deciding whether we want to pay for it at the pump, or whether we will take a loan to pay for it after pretending that one liter of fuel costs N40 , or is it N190 per liter.

Yes, they must build refinery...but refinery too must earn profit to run well...not the one where refinery produces refined fuel at the cost of above N300 per liter, and we want to buy the thing cheap at N100 or N40?

What a country
Even to investigate a crime, order must be given by powers from above or otherwise. The monumental corruption that is entrenched in Nigeria is frustrating and mind boggling.

E go better oneday and everybody go dey alright

It's okay o

Meaning, they have been hoarding the fuel abi

Why are we even wicked to ourselves

DSS should help us extend the ultimatum to Buhari
Since our military are bunch of Jokers and weaklings
