Independent marketers to lift fuel directly from Dangote Refinery

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has reached a deal with Dangote Refinery which allows its members to lift products directly.
IPMAN’s national president, Abubakar Shettima-Garima, disclosed this to journalists on Monday in Abuja.
“Following our recent meeting with Aliko Dangote and members of his top management staff in Lagos, we are happy to state the following:
“That the Dangote Refinery has obliged IPMAN to lift PMS, AGO and DPK directly for onward supply to IPMAN depots and retail outlets.
“That this new arrangement with the Dangote Refinery will ensure steady and ceaseless supply of PMS products all over Nigeria, at an affordable rate for Nigerians also.
“All IPMAN members should fully support the Dangote Refinery, as it’s the ideal thing to do considering the monumental benefits of backward integration and the medium to long term impact it will have on the Foreign Exchange markets in Nigeria.
“IPMAN members nationwide should rely on the Dangote Refinery and Nigerian Refineries for their white products, as this will translate into ensuring more job opportunities in Nigeria, as well as signify that total support for the President Bola Tinubu’s renewed hope agenda.
“On CNG, I would also like to call on all our members at IPMAN to begin to put all machinery in place for a successful transition of the federal government’s plans to initiate CNG refill stations in all our outlets.
“Truly there is no doubt that CNG has the potential to rejuvenate our economy for a better life for Nigerians, and IPMAN is ready to give her all to support the CNG initiative.
“IPMAN is also calling for a partnership with the Federal Government of Nigeria to hasten the quick success of the CNG initiative for Nigeria. We believe that for the CNG initiative to succeed, there must be a credible partnership between IPMAN and the PCNGI, without which Nigerians would not have ready and near access to CNG outlets.”
