The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria , yesterday, dismissed the threat on Sunday by the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria to shut fuel stations nationwide today as empty.
“No one is shutting down any filling station. It is an empty threat. The public is assured of continued regular sale of petroleum products across the country please,” Afolabi stated.This is just as the Head of Media, PENGASSAN, Jerry Amah, said Nigerians should not be afraid of IPMAN’s ultimatum, promising that all the oil majors would be in operation.
The NECA boss observed that if the union carried out its threat, it would be very devastating for businesses in particular and the country’s struggling economy in general. “It is quite unfortunate that at a time when all hands should be on deck to revive our troubled economy, we are faced with an impending action by the IPMAN to shut down filling stations across the country. This portends a negative implication for the economy and the standard of living of many Nigerians who are already in abject poverty,” he said.
