Fuel scarcity: Marketers insist strike continues, denies receiving any money from govt

Members of the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association DAPPMA say the strike action they are currently embarking on will continue despite claims by the Federal Government that N156bn was released yesterday to offset some debts owed them and end the persisting fuel scarcity.

In an interview with Premium Times, the Executive Secretary of DAPPMA, Odufemi Adewole said that non of their members in the Major Oil Marketers Association (MOMAN), have received the monies supposedly released yesterday and that until the money hits the accounts of all its members, they will not call off the strike.


“The money government said it was paying to marketers has not yet hit our accounts. So, there is little we can do about the situation. The money the Minister of Finance promised to pay us last February did not get into our hands till about four or five weeks later. If all members are not getting the money today, it means we have to wait till Monday. But, the truth is that nobody is going to call off the strike till the money is paid,” he said.

    Jonathan and his people are angry we didn't vote them back into power so they want to suffe the masses with fuel scarcity and lack of electricity. Mark my words cos this is the gist going round the streets of abuja. The south south people want to suffer us cos they own the oil and they are angry. Period! I can't wait for May 29.

  32. Ahn ahn!! Why are we pretending like we don't know. Dem don use all the money for campaign now! Even the banks have been cleaned out, so they not even willing to extend the usual line of credit to these marketers. Money no dey, so as usual, we go siddon look. But isn't this madness???! A country that produces this stuff??! We have 3-4 refineries lying fallow. All the money you have been spending on importation and subsidy could have been used to fix them. Even if not at once, in phases. Or if obsolet, build new ones. But nooooo, some fools are making a killing, hence holding us to ransom. I usual try not to curse, but may God 'handle' all of you capitalizing on the suffering of the masses! Bastards!
