Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN),has said the recent threat issued Department of State Services (DSS) on stakeholders in the distribution of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to end the current scarcity in the country will fail unless things are put in proper way.
Sunny Nkpe, Chairman, System 2E, Eastern Zone, who spoke while appearing on Channels Television’s breakfast programme, Sunrise Daily,said the secret police should take the bull by the horn in phasing out the cartel operating among private depot owners hoarding the essential commodity in the country.
He lamented that there had not been a drop of petrol allocation to the Port Harcourt depot in the last six months.
He added: “Let me make it categorically clear here: there is no amount of threat by DSS that is going to change anything. If it must change, they must start from the source.They should go to the private depot operators to find out where for now we are getting products from. Until the cartel or cabal in that area is handled or taken care of, we can never get any reduction or fairness in the distribution of the product.”
