LAGOS \u2013 AS the scarcity and high cost of diesel and kerosene persist across the country, Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, has called on the Federal Government to explain to the nation, the reason behind the scarcity and rising prices of both products.<\/p>\n

Investigations revealed that while Diesel now sells for N145 per litre, kerosene goes for N130 per litre.<\/p>\n

PENGASSAN President, Mr Babatunde Ogun,\u00a0 lauded\u00a0 Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agencies, PPPRA; Petroleum
Equalisation Fund, PEF, and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, for their efforts at making the
products available to Nigerians, but argued that government needed\u00a0 to explain to Nigerians the full status of
diesel and kerosene, whether they had been deregulated or not.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cOn the scarcity, let me say that we must give kudos and credit to PPPRA, PEF and NNPC, for making sure
that the products, especially petroleum is available every where in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, the recent crisis we are experiencing in downstream sector is as a result of lack of government\u2019s
political will to tell Nigerians\u2019 exactly where we stand.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the two products are not deregulated, there is need to use the same template that was used for petrol for
them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
