FUEL CRISES: Probe PPMC, Nkameme urges Buhari

A member of the national management/ reconciliation committee of the Independent Petroleum Markers Association of Nigeria,IPMAN created by the Federal Government, Dr Leo Nkameme yesterday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to as a matter of urgency, probe the officers of the Petroleum Products Management Company, PPMC, for alleged fraud. 

The PPMC is a subsidiary of the NNPC that manages the oil and gas depots in the country. Speaking to reporters in his Okija country home, Nkameme who is currently the national organizing secretary of IPMAN alleged that the officers of the body had been and still are sabotaging the ministry of petroleum headed by Buhari. 

He accused the PPMC officers of diverting fuel from the NNPC depots to areas other than where they are meant to be dispensed. “The president should probe the PPMC because a good number of the officers there are sabotaging the ministry which incidentally is under him( Buhari ).” 

According to him, the officers prefer to sell the products to the tank farms where they sell in premium and make more money for their private pockets.
