Petrol Scarcity Looms As More Marketers Join Strike

Thirty members of the Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association on Tuesday threatened to join in the strike called by the Jetty and Petroleum Tank Farm Owners of Nigeria, if Federal Government failed to settle arrears on subsidy payments, among other issues by Thursday.
In a communiqué at the end of its emergency meeting, DAPPMA gave the Federal Government a 48-hour ultimatum to pay all verified and outstanding subsidy claims, accrued interests and the foreign exchange differentials arising from late payments.

Members of JEPTFON had on Monday embarked on an indefinite strike over unpaid subsidy claims. The union had shut down jetties and depots belonging to its members.
