Hours after the Department of State Services, DSS, gave all stakeholders in fuel supply chain, to restore normal supply of petrol at officially approved rate across the country or be ready to face the consequences of their actions, the situation seems to have improved in many parts of Nigeria, due to the partial compliance of oil marketers
A former Director of the Department of State Services (DSS), Mike Ejiofor held that the secret police took prompt action with its 48-hour ultimatum that oil marketers make Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) also known as petrol available for Nigerians and to forestall another #OccupyNigeria Protest
Recall that #OccupyNigeria, was a socio-political protest against the former administration of President Goodluck Jonathan in January 2012. The protest, was a response to government’s announcement on subsidy removal on petroleum products and price hike of petrol pump price from N65 per litre to N141, rocked the country’s major cities.
