The federal government has begun to
release to members of the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of
Nigeria (IPMAN) trucks of petrol to offset about 7,000 of their
loading tickets which they said had been outstanding at products depots
in the country.
IPMAN said in a statement from the
Secretary of their Reconciliation/Interim Management Committee, Mr.
Lawson Ngoa in Abuja that some of their have started loading products
from some depots in Lagos.
It explained that the development was
made possible by the intervention by the committee which was recently
constituted by federal government to reunite them after years of
leadership tussle.
Ngoa said that IPMAN controls over 80
per cent of the petroleum products retail outlets in the country but
they were not getting the products from the Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation (NNPC) due to the internal leadership crises it had.
According to him, the committee has now
taken steps to ensure that products are available at its retail outlets
all over the country.
Ngoa in the statement thanked Nigerians for their patience and understanding with the government on the fuel scarcity.
