NEWS: Fuel scarcity No end in sight as marketers deny receiving N156bn from FG

Oil marketers in Nigeria have denied receiving a subsidy payment of N156 billion from the Federal Government in order to end the current fuel scarcity plaguing the country.
The FG stated on Thursday, April 30, 2015, that the sum had been paid to the marketers to ensure adequate fuel supply in the country.
However, as at 4.35 pm on Thursday, the Executive Secretary, Depot & Petroleum Products Marketers a$$ociation (DAPPMA), Odufemi Adewole,

told Premium Times that none of its members and their counterparts in the Major Oil Marketers a$$ociation (MOMAN) had confirmed receiving any payment.
“The money government said it was paying to marketers has not yet hit our accounts. So, there is little we can do about the situation. The money the Minister of Finance promised to pay us last February did not get into our hands till about four or five weeks later,”Adewole said.
