The Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN) yesterday claimed that its members were owed N130.7 billion in subsidy by the Federal Government as at August 2018.

One of the major challenges the downstream petroleum sector is still facing, according to him, was the non-payment of outstanding fuel subsidy to oil marketers.
