IPMAN Directs Fuel Stations To sell Petrol At N162.44 Per Litre

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has directed its members to sell petrol at N162.44 per litre as directed by the Federal government.

The Chairman of the Association in Kano, Alhaji Bashir Dan-Malam, said the directive followed the reduction of the price of the commodity to marketers by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation from N153.17 to N148.17 per litre.

The Federal Government had earlier announced the reduction of the price of the commodity from N168 per litre to N162.44 per litre, as an agreement reached with the organised labour.

“I am therefore directing our members in the Kano zone to commence the sale of the commodity at N162.44 per litre from today in compliance with the government’s directive.

“I want to also assure the public that we are committed to transporting the product to all states under Kano State including Katsina, Bauchi, Yobe and Jigawa especially during the Yuletide to prevent scarcity.”

Dan-Malam assured that the Association would continue to support the Federal Government to ensure the supply of the product across the country.
