Marketers speak on Dangote, NNPC fuel
Meanwhile, the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria has denied claims that it opposed the recent reduction in Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) prices by Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation Limited.
There have been reports that oil marketers are unhappy with the reduction due to the losses they incurred from the price changes.
Also, Former presidential aide Reno Omokri alleged in a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle on Saturday night that IPMAN was protesting against the Federal Government due to the affordability of fuel from Dangote and NNPCL.
Omokri claimed that instead of Nigerians protesting against high fuel prices, oil marketers were resisting the price cut.
IPMAN’s National Vice President, Hammed Fashola, in a statement, maintained that the report referenced by Omokri could not have originated from the association, as independent marketers have long championed the call for full deregulation of the oil and gas sector.
