States Will Soon Be Flooded With Petrol – Marketers

The Chief of Staff to the National President of the Petroleum Retail Outlet Owners of Nigeria, Emmanuel Inimgba, has urged Rivers State residents to shun panic buying, assuring that the state would soon be flooded with petrol in the coming days.

Inimgba, a former Chairman of the Port Harcourt unit of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, made it known that the assurance stemmed from the latest promise by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, that over two billion liters of petrol would soon arrive in the country.

According to him:  “Rivers marketers are worried about what’s going on. They don’t believe that they will buy at N165, N167 and you want them to go and sell at N165.

“I want to give kudos to Rivers marketers. They have done excellently well. You can see in Port Harcourt, I won’t say there is scarcity compared to other states.
