The Major Oil Marketers Association of Nigeria (MOMAN) says its members are close to the completion of blending the off-spec petrol imported into the country.

MOMAN’s Executive Secretary, Mr Clement Isong, confirmed the development yesterday in Lagos.

The withdrawal of the imported PMS from the market created a supply gap which triggered scarcity of the product across the country.

The government had set up a technical committee of stakeholders in the downstream petroleum sector, to carry out the blending of the off-spec petrol, to comply with the acceptable standard.
