The Depot and Petroleum Products
Marketers Association of Nigeria (DAPPMAN) has suspended its earlier directive
to commence shutdown of depots across the country from loading petroleum
products.
The suspension directive was made
known in a statement issued in the early hours of Monday by Olufemi Adewole,
DAPPMAN’s executive secretary.
The association had earlier
directed marketers to shut down all loading operations by midnight on Sunday.
“However, following the
intervention of well-meaning Nigerians including the National Assembly as
represented by the Senate Committee of Petroleum Downstream and constructive
engagement of the Federal Government team by the labour unions most affected by
the disengagement of our personnel, namely, PENGASSAN, NUPENG NARTO, and the
PTD, DAPPMAN has resolved to recall its disengaged personnel for 5-days to give
the FG’s team the opportunity to conclude its process of paying marketers the
full outstanding of N800 billion with the first trench being the amount already
approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC),” the statement read.
“The association has acted in
good faith to avoid unnecessary hardship which could befall Nigerians during
the yuletide season and we hope that government would make good its promise to
see that those issues are resolved by Friday, December 14, 2018, as promised.
“To this, end, our disengaged
personnel would be recalled on Monday, December 10 and considering the
reactivation time or hitherto shut down system, all depots with fuel stock
should be fully active same day.
“DAPPMAN depots are therefore
advised to commence loading operations immediately and await further
notification in respect of our long overdue payment.”
In the suspension directive
released on Sunday, DAPPMAN had said members disengaged employees due to their
inability to pay salaries.
