Plot to sabotage Supply of Petroleum Products
to the North
Newsdiaryonline Tues August 2,2011
The Kaduna Zonal
Executive of
Nigeria Union of Petroleum and
Natural Gas Workers,NUPENG
while reviewing its
activities
at a meeting in Minna
has painfully discovered
a grand design
by a group of
disgruntled elements who are not happy with
the free flow of petroleum products in the entire
Northern States .We
understand this disgruntled group
has resorted to misinformation about
allocation of petroleum products namely DPK/AGO/PMS in
PPMC Kaduna .This clandestine group has been spreading falsehood
against top industry
executives,
accusing them of
unilaterally allocating
products without due process. This misinformation is
completely untrue
and we are convinced it
is a manifestation of
a hidden plot to destabilize the free flow of petroleum
products to the North.
We like to assure the general public:
·
That all
allocations in the Depot are done by a Committee comprising the
Depot Management, IPMAN and Major Marketers.
·
That any other
allocation besides
that of the
Committee is done by
the Top Management of NNPC at the Corporate level to
organizations such as PHCN, Police, and the Military among
others.
·
That we are using this opportunity to tell the entire world that
Kaduna Depot is the
only active Depot in the Northern part of the Country and given
such a situation,
there will be pressure
from different quarters on the management of the Depot.
·
That the
variances which have resulted
in huge revenue
losses in the depot
are not a
product of human errors,rather
they are occasioned
by
obsolete/outdated equipment.
·
We are fully aware that the Area Management is doing all within
its powers to ensure
uninterrupted product supplies to the Northern Part of
the country.
We will like to urge all Nigerians
to disregard all the rumours, falsehoods and lies being
peddled by disgruntled and faceless people .Those behind these
lies are merely trying to create unnecessary tension aimed at
sabotaging and
destabilizing the on going free flow of petroleum products
across the North.
We’ll like
reiterate that our
Council will always work
extra hard to
ensure the continued availability of Petroleum Products to all
the nooks and crannies
of the country especially the North which is our
immediate
constituency.
It is also the resolve of
Kaduna Zonal Executive
of NUPENG to ensure total support of the efforts by
the Area/Depot
Management of PPMC,IPMAN and Major Marketers
in the distribution of petroleum
products to the Northern
part of the country.
We also urge management to consider strengthening
the manpower needs of
Area/Depots across the country.In like manner, we urge
management to also increase funding
for the depots.
We assure every Nigerian of
our determination to ensure that the plot to sabotage the free
flow of petroleum products fails.
Signed
Comrade Adamu Song
Senior Assistant General Secretary
NUPENG/KADUNA
