The Department of State Services (DSS) has given the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) Limited and oil marketers a 48-hour ultimatum to make Motor Spirit known as petrol available for Nigerians

DSS Spokesman, Peter Afunanya announced the directive while briefing journalists at the headquarters of the secret police in Abuja after over three hours closed-door meeting with stakeholders in the petroleum sector.

He said failure to comply, the DSS will activate its operations across the country.

According to Afunanya, the challenge of fuel scarcity has assumed a dimension that is detrimental to the security of the country.

He said during the meeting, the NNPC agreed that there is enough product that will serve Nigerians during and after the Yuletide season.

For weeks, vehicle owners especially in Lagos and Abuja have had a tough time getting petrol from filling stations. Whilst many outlets are closed, the few ones that are open sell the indispensable commodity for as high as N250 per litre from the uniform price of N169/litre.

The shortage of supply has led to long, grueling snake-like queues at the few open filling stations as motorists and business owners jostle to buy fuel while others resort to black market. The situation has also worsen traffic on major roads as vehicle owners block at least one lane to queues to filling stations.

Good work DSS, next thing is to arrest the minister of petroleum for incompetence and possibly complicity in this mess.

They want to make it look like dey working when they are all a bunch of incompetent fools

EFCC should them to smoke them out from hoarding

DSS ? That is Abuse of office

Why DSS?

If they think it's by use of force, they should also force CBN to restore our exchange rate back to ₦220/$.

Ic should also them and DPR. Don't know the reason why oil marketers and nnpc just decided to suffer Nigerians. Since they privatized them, they are poor in their service.

DSS ?
That is Abuse of office

Nigeria is a lawless country.

I hereby give an ultimatum of 24 hours to Petroleum marketers to do the needful before they see the other side of me...

I have also spoken my own!

They should give the directives to the Minister of Petroleum.

On a serious note, some greedy people are saboteurs who profit from the chaos and will deliberately create one where there's none.
Instead of warning them, the DSS should rather arrest and prosecute them for being the enemy of the state.

Instead of harassing marketers, just arrest the petroleum minister and don't release him until fuel is available

Na wa o

These guys know most of the solutions to problems in Nigeria but they won't do it if it doesn't favor those cabals. Election is around the corner... If you know you know


Check my profile for important info...

DSS is right that the scarcity and high cost of fuel constitutes a national security threat.
But how can they enforce the availability of the product in a country that is rife with corruption from the top to bottom.
It's the same thing EFCC does when it goes to raid bureau de change outlets for hawking dollars.
It all boils down to corruption and as sad and depressing as it may sound, corruption is now part and parcel of our way of life because Buhari came and fully institutionalised it.

48 hours is too long, please. Activate the operation within the next 12 hours if they refuse to make fuel available to the people. What kind of wicked people do we have in this country?

Any feeling station, including NNPC stations, that refuse to sell should be forced to dispense the fuel in their reservoir for free and thereafter close down the stations for 5 years.

When Lastma go give their own order?

Just like NEPA... We thought privatization would bring joy. Alas, we were wrong... Nigerians are wicked human beings.

The day the banks become professional and start working in the national interest, is the day Nigeria will begin to progress. Anything you put in the hand of Nigerians, won't work - like banks, like BDC. Dangote group had to fill its top hierarchy with Indians, Chinese, etc for the company to progress. With Nigerians in those positions, there wouldn't have been anything called Dantoge refinery, etc today.

Rubbish.

Na January e go ready at 400 naira.
Na una vote buhari,still dey clamour for tinubu.

Good move

DSS ke?

Like so
