Oil Marketers agree to call off strike with immediate effect, to begin lifting of petrol in six hours

Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria, MOMAN, have reportedly agreed to call off their strike action over unpaid subsidy claims and commence lifting of petroleum products nationwide in the next six hours.

The oil marketers agreed to call off their strike at a meeting with the Chairman, Senate committee on petroleum resources, Magnus Abe, Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, ‎ Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, MD of NNPC Joseph Dawha and other stakeholders in the oil and gas sector in Abuja today May 25th.


At the meeting, the oil marketers agreed that the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) should immediately revoke the license of any oil marketer that refuses to lift petroleum products across Nigeria.

Members of PENGASSAN, NUPENG, MOMAN, IPMAN and all other officials also addressed the press where they affirmed the resolutions and agreement and called off their strike action as well.

  79. Thank God they are lifting the strike. People blame GEJ and same people are expecting miracles from Buhari. I tell y'all change 30 Nigeria President and Nigeria will not change. It is Nigerians who will change Nigeria. America was built by Entrpreneurs like John D Rockfeller, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, Thom Scott, JP Morgan, Henry Ford etc. I tell youths always in an economy like ours going down the drain, Being an Entrepreneur is the only way out. JOB which simply means Just Over Broke is the riskiest thing to do. If We must rule this country we have to rule its economy and the only way to do that is to become an entrepteneur. Ms wealthy

  86. Useless fools! And some ignorant partisan, ethnic bigotic Nigerians blame GEJ for the greed and wickedness of this cabals! Our problem in Nigeria is inherent wickedness and hypocrisy! Until we as a people understand that partisan or ethnic fight is detrimental to all but the elites only then shall our problem be holistically and appropriately addressed. Let them ground the country, he who holds another to the ground, holds himself too. Ifeanyi Uba move I suppose shamed the useless divisive fools hence this recent decision! It is only an act of greed and sheer evil that will drive these oil cabals to ground a country over forex differentials (not even non payment)! In a sane society, they are not even supposed to demand for any payment, yet the FGN continue to pay an already over capitalized sector! These are where the incurred debt is coming from but I guess Osibanjo and APC stooge are blind! 29 is almost here let them come and take us to glory land...oh what an easy task it will be!

  129. All you abusing the oil marketers. What would you do if the govt owed you billions and the banks are refusing to loan you further money until you clear your outstanding debt and the govt is making no commitment? What would you do if your company is on the verge of collapse and still the govt is making no commitment?
    All they asked for is a committment so that at least the banks can continue funding them. However it sort of went farther than expected and seeing the hardship which resulted, which was not their plan, they had to call off the strike. They never intended to hurt the country. All they needed was the money being owed them.
    They had tried all sorts of means but to no avail hence the need to resort to the strike.
    Before you open your mouth to utter blasphemy against them think critically about the situation. What would you do if you were in their shoes?
    Would you wait to go bankrupt while the current govt is on its way out and there's no talk on repaying you?
    Food for thought

This medium is not for the likes of you. You are just an ignorant oaf living in a cocoon
