FG releases petrol to independent marketers

The Federal Government has commenced the release of Premium Motor Power (PMS) known as petrol to Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria(IPMAN).

In a statement issued by Mr Lawson Ngoa, Secretary IPMAN Reconciliation Committee on Sunday in Abuja, it was stated that the release of the product was part of the efforts to settle the 7,000 pending loading tickets of IPMAN.

He stated also that, some markets had confirmed commenced loading of the products from some depots in Lagos as a result of efforts made by the committee.

He noted that IPMAN controlled over 80 percent of the petroleum products' retail outlets in the country and that members were not getting products from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)due to internal leadership crisis since the last two years.

Ngoa said the committee had taken steps to ensure that products were available all over the country. He thanked Nigerians for patience and understanding during the difficult period and also assured Nigerians that efforts are been made to end the fuel scarcity.
