The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has decried the situation whereby only one storage tank out of nine installed at the Ejigbo Depot was working. The Chairman, Ejigbo Satellites Depot of IPMAN, Ayo Alanamu, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Monday that this would address the fuel distribution challenges in the zone. He said that only one out of nine storage tanks in Ejigbo Depot was currently working; adding that this was not sufficient for petroleum distribution. According to him, marketers hardly load 50 trucks from the depot due to the dilapidated state of the storage tanks there. “We appeal to the Federal Government through the NNPC to revive all the damaged tanks so as to increase the fuel storage capacity to 200 trucks daily.
