NUPENG promises early availability of petrol in filling stations

THE National Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers (NUPENG) yesterday assured that petrol would soon be readily available in filling stations across the country.

The union’s South-West Chairman, Tokunbo Korodo, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that there had been improvement on loading of petroleum at the depots in Lagos.

He observed that Nigerians would appreciate the present regime if it could reduce the price of petroleum.

The NUPENG chairman said government meant well for all and sundry in spite of the few greedy that worked to frustrate genuine intentions.

NAN reports that the Minister of State for Petroleum, Dr Ibe Kachikwu, had earlier said that a price modulation in petrol would begin next month.

He made the disclosure during his inspection of the Port Harcourt Refinery Company (PHRC) on Christmas day.
