The
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has assured of
sufficient supply of premium motor spirit (petrol) as it has taken
delivery of four more cargoes of the product over the weekend to keep
the country wet.
The deliveries which amount to about 180 million
litres is part of a new arrangement by the corporation to have a cargo
of PMS delivered daily as from March.
The corporation which made
the announcement in a statement made available to the journalists stated
that the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu,
has warned depot owners against selling petrol above the approved
ex-depot price of N77 per litre.
The warning comes against the background of repeated complaints by marketers of sharp practices at the depots.
The
statement quotes the minister as warning that depot owners found to be
involved in selling products above the approved ex-depot prices would be
severely sanctioned.
