Oil marketers blame NNPCL for fuel scarcity

Oil marketers under the aegis of Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), have laid the blame on the fresh fuel scarcity on the doorstep of the National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited.

The President of the association Billy Gillis-Harry, while appearing on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief breakfast programme on Monday, accused the major oil supplier in the country of not supplying them with the product.

“NNPC has its own outlets that they also serve. So, if they have some logistics issues, that will possibly be what is internal to NNPC. But as for us, PETROAN members, we can tell Nigerians for real that if we have petroleum products delivered to us, supplied to us upon payment for those same products, we will supply them to Nigerians.
