Reps Ask Security Agencies to Clamp Down on Marketers Hoarding Petrol

The House of Representatives Committees on Petroleum Resources (Downstream and Midstream) have urged security agencies to clamp down on fuel marketers hoarding petrol and engaging in the arbitrary increment in the price of the premium commodity.

In a statement today jointly signed by the Chairmen of the two committees, Ikenga Ugochinyere and Henry Okojie, the lawmakers said they reached out to the stakeholders in the petroleum distribution value chain to end fuel queues in the country.

The lawmakers said they have engaged the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Petroleum Regulatory Authority (NMDPRA), the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), and the Nigerian Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO) to mention a few.

The committees said the disruptions in logistic supply have been taken care of and the scarcity of petrol would be a thing of the past in the next few days.

The lawmakers accused some stakeholders of economic sabotage and asked security agencies to clamp down on them
