Group urges NNPC to sanction petrol hoarders

PMB Oil and Gas Progress has alleged that some petroleum marketers are planning to create artificial petrol scarcity in the country ahead of the Yuletide, calling on the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to sanction the culprits.

The group, in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Mallam Sabiu Abdullahi, yesterday, expressed concern over alleged attempts by some petroleum marketers to hoard over 90 million litres of petrol, to be sold at exorbitant prices during the festivities

The group called on the NNPC management not to be lenient with any marketer found guilty of creating artificial scarcity.
