The President of NUPENG, William Akporeha, revealed that members involved have been directed to present themselves at their loading bays.

Akporeha said this was against the backdrop of a meeting the union had with stakeholders in the downstream sector.

According to him, members involved in the distribution have been warned to shun any form of complicity that would further exacerbate the current problem.

He said, “Arising from a stakeholder meeting on downstream of the petroleum sector of the oil and gas industry, the leadership of Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas workers has decided to once again direct all its members involved in direct distribution chain and who are Petroleum Tankers Drivers, Deport workers and Petrol station workers to shun any form of illegal  and sharp malpractices that will cause or compound the present fuel scarcity across the country.

“All members are also directed to make themselves available at their various loading and distribution units round the clock to ensure adequate and unhindered distribution of the petroleum products across the nook and crannies of the country.
