The federal government appeared not to be sleeping over the warning
by the Major Oil Marketers Association (MOMAM) that fuel crises was
imminent, as it has taken fresh measures to nip the problem in the bud.
Following its determination to make petroleum products available
across the country, government has engaged the Independent Petroleum
Marketers Association (IPMAN) to bridge products from depots controlled
by the Products and Pipeline Marketing Company (PPMC) , a subsidiary of
the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
Confirming this development, the IPMAN has therefore urged its
members to ensure that they accessed products from PPMC depots across
the country.
IPMAN has also advised the general public to avoid panic buying of
fuel as it said that there was no impending fuel scarcity in the
country.
The national president of the association , Alhaji Aminu Abdulkadri,
who gave the assurance in a media briefing in Lagos yesterday said with
the latest arrangement, the fear of rumoured scarcity has been allayed.
Abdulkadri said that there was stable fuel supply in the country, urging
members of the public to avoid panic buying as there would no longer
be any reason for that.
