The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has threatened to withdraw its services over federal government’s non-payment of ₦200 billion debt.
In a communique released after a press conference on Tuesday, Okolo said NMDPRA failed to pay the ₦200bn debt despite a directive for payment from the Petroleum Minister Heineken Lokpobiri. He blamed the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited , the sole importer of petroleum products, for the current nationwide petrol scarcity, adding that some of its members have “completely shut down their businesses”, and retrenched their employees.
“Consequently, also, the banks have taken over the business premises of many of our members. As indigenous organisations, and Depot Chairmen, we are unhappy that rather than receive support from the government to boost our businesses, we are being discouraged, by the head of NMDPRA.
