Should the ongoing
strike embarked upon by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association
of Nigeria be allowed to linger beyond Wednesday, most depots in Apapa, Lagos,
will run out of fuel stock, Punch has learnt.
Following the
commencement of the strike on Thursday, loading at Apapa depots, where many
marketers get petroleum products to other states, has been reduced due to the
absence of workers of the Petroleum Equalisation Fund Board.
The PEF personnel
usually certify marketers’ trucks to enable them to get bridging funds for fuel
being transported to distant parts of the country. It was gathered that
marketers were only loading to Lagos and other South-West states that required
no payment of bridging fund by the PEF.
The Federal
Government had however said it would meet with the leadership of PENGASSAN
today in a bid to resolve the problem.
