Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) says Petrol Marketers are behind the lingering product scarcity and the instability in pump price.
The association accused the marketers of trying to force an increase in the pump price of petrol above the threshold approved by the Federal Government.
Nigerians for the past three weeks have been enduring pains to buy petrol at filling stations, especially those belonging to Independent Petrol Marketers Association of Nigeria for the past three week (IPMAN), where products sell for as high as N300 per litre against the government pegged pump price at between N165 and N169.IPMAN yesterday announced that its members have dropped the plan to go on strike.
