IPMAN Calls for Calm, Says Plans to Increase Fuel Pump Price

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has denied the alleged plan by the association to increase the pump price of Premium Motor Spirit also known as petrol, to N700 per litre nationwide.

The News Agency of Nigeria reported that the Chairman of IPMAN Southwest Zone, Dele Tajudeen, made the clarification in an interview in Ibadan on Friday.

He urged Nigerians to disregard the speculation and not engage in panic buying.

Tajudeen stressed that the product’s price would not be more than what is being sold presently.

He commended President Bola Tinubu for removing the subsidy on petrol, adding that it was long overdue.

He said the slight increase in pump price was because of the transportation cost and that Nigerians should be at rest as the commodity will not be out of reach for the masses.
