The federal government has set up a committee to ensure that
marketers get petroleum products and sell same at its approved price
nationwide, as part of effort to end fuel scarcity in the country.
The committee will be chaired by Prince I. Dunuje while
Engr. Lawson Ngoa will act as its secretary.
The 14-man committee will also reconcile the warring
factions within the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria
(IPMAN) and ensure an amicable end to the lingering crises in the association.
Minister of State for Petroleum Resources and Group Managing
Director of the NNPC, Dr. Emmanuel Ibe Kachikwu, who inaugurated the committee,
charged the members with the task of doing everything possible "to bring
back peace to the association at the national, zonal and depot levels.
He noted that as critical stakeholders in the downstream
sector, the contribution of IPMAN was crucial in the drive to end the
prevailing fuel supply situation across the nation.
The minister, who called on all members to see IPMAN as one
indivisible entity, also charged them to work with relevant government agencies
such as the NNPC, DPR and other stakeholders to ensure that the prevailing fuel
scarcity "becomes a thing of the past as quickly as possible.
