Minister Orders DPR To Distribute Hoarded Fuel Free To Nigerians by 48noble(m): 10:00pm On Nov 17, 2015 |
The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, on Tuesday directed the Department of Petroleum Resources to seal off fuel stations found to be hoarding petroleum products and dispense the petroleum free to the public. The Minister gave the directive after a working visit to some retail outlets in Abuja. “I have instructed DPR that if they discover any fuel station involved in hoarding, they should sell the products for free to customers around there,” he said. “It is not just sealing the station that is the answer. It is penalizing them when they do these things. I hope the message goes out loud and clear.” Meanwhile, the Minister has scheduled a session on Wednesday with key operators in the downstream sector of the petroleum industry, namely the Major Marketers Association of Nigeria, Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association, as well as Jetty and Tank Farm Owners Associations. The meeting is expected to mobilise the oil marketers across the country to cooperate with government to ensure speedy clearance of the fuel queues. “I am getting all the majors to get involved and they must take charge of the situation. They must take responsibility for all their filling stations. I have instructed the DPR and the Petroleum Equalization Fund and all the other agencies to work towards the Fast track movement of petrol bearing trucks and vessels,” he explained. Currently, he said there was enough supply of petroleum products by the Nigerian National petroleum Corporation, as about 38 million litres of products haa been moved to various filling stations across the country help resolve the crisis. On the approved payment of N413 billion subsidy claims to marketers, the minister confirmed that President Muhammadu Buhari had since transmitted a letter to the National Assembly for the approval of subsidy claims. The Central Bank of Nigeria, he assured, would soon make the funds available to the marketers once appropriated by the National Assembly. The Minister also said there was no plan by the government to reduce the price of petrol soon, adding that marketers should desist from hoarding fuel and make products available to the motorists. To ensure that products become available to consumers, the NNPC said figures from the daily dispatch of petrol to depots across the country showed that by Tuesday about 38.3 million litres of petrol was dispatched by the Pipeline and Products Marketing Company, PPMC across the country. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/193397-minister-orders-dpr-to-distribute-hoarded-fuel-free-to-nigerians.html 1 Like |

Ibe or Buhari, you LIE. You do not have the right to force me to sell my wares. I chose to sell when I like. Do you order market women to sell their Garri or do you order Buhari to sell his cows? This is not a military regime as such you cannot threatened people with your authoritarian approach. Flood the market with fuel and see if marketers will resort to hoarding. NASS should WARN this government that we are in a DEMOCRACY 6 Likes 1 Share |

Sounds like a good decision but it is doubtful if this will forestall fuel scarcity. President Buhari and Ministry of Petroleum resources should admit so much has changed since 1984 in the petroleum sector of the economy. The marketers have grown powerful, almost indispensable, in the petroleum product supply chain of the economy. They are not only stupendously rich but control major stake in all political maze across the nation. These people are used to profiteering and using force in enjoining them to be reasonable will not achieve anything. They cannot be cowered, at least for now. We the public understand the good intention of the FG but government should realize they are limited on this particular issue. The best option is for the FG to allow them to field for now while lasting measures are designed asap. |

Xetima: As long as you're buying subsidized fuel and collecting subsidy payments from the FG, you MUST dispense that fuel to Nigerians. Simple and short. Nothing about dictatorship there. In fact, this is most certainly a pre-requisite agreement before licenses to sell petrol products are granted. 6 Likes 2 Shares |
