The members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) are set to lift refined petroleum products directly from the Dangote Refinery.
This is coming after the union secured an agreement with Dangote Group on Monday according to IPMAN National President, Abubakar Garima.
The President announced this to newsmen after a meeting of the National Working Committee of the association, assuring that the partnership would ensure steady, and affordable supply of PMS products nationwide.
“We’re pleased to announce that Dangote Refinery has agreed to supply IPMAN with PMS, AGO, and DPK directly for distribution to our depots and retail outlets,” IPMAN President was quoted by Channels TV.
Recall that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) had earlier accused of Dangote of selling more expensive fuel than the imported ones.
Reacting, in a statement signed by Anthony Chiejina, Group Chief Branding and Communications Officer on Sunday, Dangote Refinery said, “We had lately refrained from engaging in media fights, but we are constrained to respond to the recent misinformation being circulated.”
