IPMAN begs NMDPRA, NNPC not to delist operators from sales portal to avert fuel crisis
•Queues persist as more filling stations open for sale, pump price drops marginally
As Nigerians battle fuel scarcity, over 9,000 oil marketers are on the verge of losing their operating licences.
As a result, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria is urging the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited to extend its final deadline for licensing renewal to July.
It also appealed to the Nigerian Midstream and Downstream Regulatory Authority to release 9,000 already processed licences to its members.
The association made the request known in a release signed by the National Public Relations Officer, Chief Chinedu Ukadike, on Thursday in Abuja.
Recall that IPMAN in a statement on Sunday lamented the slow pace of marketers’ licence renewal by the NMDPRA.
