Chairman of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) at NNPC depot, Ore, Shina Amao, said there is an acute shortage of petrol at NNPC depots.
According to him, this is forcing marketers in the south west region to patronize private depots who are selling products at above the approved ex depot prices.
