The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, and its downstream subsidiary, the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company, PPMC, Tuesday warned that it would prosecute marketers and other stakeholders selling Dual Purpose Kerosene, DPK,\u00a0above the approved price to Nigerians.<\/p>\n

According to a statement signed by Mrs. Green, Acting Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, the NNPC also allayed fears of\u00a0 alleged scarcity of kerosene in the country, saying that about 11 million litres of kerosene were being supplied across the country daily, far above the national demand of eight million litres daily.<\/p>\n

Green stressed that the NNPC and the PPMC will continue to work with all stakeholders to ensure even distribution of kerosene to all nook and crannies of the country, and also advised members of the public against panic buying of the product.<\/p>\n

It read: “We, therefore, call on all stakeholders to ensure that petroleum products including kerosene get to the general public at government approved prices as severe sanctions await any defaulter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis clarification has become necessary due to reports of scarcity of the product in some parts of the country. For the avoidance of doubt, the NNPC, through its subsidiary, the PPMC supplies between 10 and 11 million litres of kerosene daily, which is distributed through allocations to licensed marketers such as Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, (IPMAN), Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association, (DAPPMA), Major Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN) and NNPC Retail Limited who sell to the general public through their retail outlets.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is, therefore, a surprise to receive reports of scarcity in spite of the fact that NNPC\/PPMC supply above the eight million litres national daily consumption.\u201d<\/p>\n
