IPMAN to Meet Dangote Refinery Over Petrol Pricing and Supply
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has announced plans to meet with Dangote Refinery to discuss petrol pricing and supply.
This move follows a statement from Devakumar Edwin, Vice President of Dangote Industries Limited, who claimed that local marketers are avoiding Dangote Refinery’s petrol despite its lower prices.
In response, IPMAN’s representative, Maigandi, emphasized that there is no reason for marketers to boycott Dangote Refinery’s petrol if it is being offered at a lower cost.
Maigandi noted that IPMAN received a partnership letter from Dangote Refinery on Wednesday and reviewed it on Thursday.
He clarified that petrol marketers are willing to buy from Dangote Refinery as long as the price is competitive with current rates.
Maigandi said, “In the letter, Dangote Refinery mentioned that its petrol is ready, but the price was not disclosed.
We cannot boycott Dangote Refinery if their petrol is cheaper.
We are prepared to purchase petrol from them under the condition that it is priced no higher than what we are currently paying elsewhere.
We have no issues with Dangote Refinery.”
He also pointed out that the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) sells petrol directly to marketers at an average price of N870 per liter, while the depot price is N990 per liter.
This context underlines the importance of competitive pricing in the ongoing discussions between IPMAN and Dangote Refinery.
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
