The Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria on Monday urged the Nigerian government to revoke the license of petroleum marketers selling above the official petroleum pump price.The association in a statement jointly signed by its president, Festus Osifo, and secretary, Lumumba Okugbawa, said there is no sufficient justification for petrol to be sold for such a highly inflated price, thereby subjecting the masses to further difficulties.
“Even though we have some good marketers who tend to play by the rules, others who are overbearing have deployed methods of creating artificial scarcities in other to hike the price of the product uncontrollably as the prices of the product now sell between N185 to N400 depending on your location and outlet.
In July, oil marketers gave the federal government conditions that should be met in order to retain the pump price of petrol at N165/litre. In recent months, pump prices of petrol at filling stations across the country have jumped significantly, amid scarcity and complaints among Nigerians.
