Depot operators have challenged the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to show proof of the fuel distribution.
This was in reaction to NNPC’s report that it had released 470 trucks of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) to Lagos and Abuja.
One of the depot operators, who spoke yesterday with The Guardian in a telephone interview, asked the corporation to show where the said trucks were assigned for public consumption.
According to him, NNPC was in the right position to explain reasons for the fuel scarcity as well as give information and not them.
“We are living in an environment where people know how and where to get the information, so why bothering to ask us. Why don’t you ask the NNPC to show us where the trucks are,” he stressed.
He said most of the depots are shutting down “because we have been shown that the worse thing to do is to invest money in Nigeria.”
“Let them try and pay us the monies they owe us so we can see if we can still survive,” he added.
