Dangote Group Denies IPMAN’s Fuel Pricing Claims
The Dangote Group has issued a formal statement to address recent speculation surrounding fuel prices. Headlines, including those from Punch Newspapers on August 13, 2024, suggested that the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) projected a price of N600 per litre for Dangote petrol.
This has prompted the group to provide a clear clarification. The Dangote Group categorically states that IPMAN is not an official business partner and that there have been no discussions or agreements concerning the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) with the association.
The group stresses that IPMAN does not have the mandate or authority to make statements on behalf of Dangote or influence its pricing policies. The Dangote Group further urges the public to refrain from giving credence to speculative announcements and misinformation.
For accurate and official information regarding pricing and other corporate matters, stakeholders and the general public are encouraged to consult the group’s verified communication channels.
This statement aims to prevent any confusion and ensure that the public receives reliable updates directly from the Dangote Group.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
