IPMAN Urges Dangote to Deliver Fuels Directly to Northern States for Uniform Prices
• PENGASSAN pushes for consolidation of reforms in oil industry Onyebuchi Ezigbo in Abuja and Peter Uzoho in Lagos To maintain a uniform pump price for petroleum products across the country,
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has called on the Dangote Petroleum Refinery Company to deliver fuel directly to more states across Nigeria to ensure uniform pump prices, particularly in the northern regions. This request comes in the wake of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PENGASSAN) urging the federal government to continue implementing reforms and incentives to attract investment in the oil and gas sector.
IPMAN's National Publicity Secretary and Public Relations Officer, Chief Chinedu Ukadike, made the appeal to reinforce the benefits of this initiative, which aims to bring petroleum products to final consumers at more affordable prices. By directly supplying fuel to independent marketers, IPMAN believes this will reduce the hardships faced by marketers, such as financial hold-ups and delays in product delivery.
The gesture, Ukadike noted, has already led to quicker returns on investments for marketers and a reduction in risks associated with product transport. IPMAN commended the Dangote Refinery for its efforts and appealed for the initiative to be expanded to other states, especially in the northern part of the country, to ensure a consistent pricing structure for petroleum products nationwide.
