Marketers Spend Days At Dangote Refinery Unable To Load Petrol- IPMAN 

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has stated that its members are unable to load petrol from the Dangote Refinery in Lagos, despite having paid ₦40 billion to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

IPMAN President, Abubakar Garima, revealed this during an interview on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Wednesday.

Garima expressed surprise at Aliko Dangote’s recent claim that marketers were avoiding his $20 billion refinery in favor of imported petrol.

“We have over 40 billion naira in outstanding debt with the NNPCL. I was surprised when Dangote said he has over 500 million liters of PMS. We are ready to buy the product from Dangote if he is ready to sell it to us directly”, said Abubakar Garima, President, IPMAN.

The IPMAN boss said his members are not importing petrol, as claimed by Africa’s richest man. He said rather than get Dangote petrol through the NNPCL, the private refinery should register independent petrol marketers directly for smooth loading of the product.

“If he (Dangote) can be able to sell the product to us directly, we can buy the product, because we have to pay before we pick. Presently, we have ₦40bn under the NNPCL custody but we cannot source the product.

“Just of recent, there are some of my marketers that NNPCL sent to load in Dangote refinery and those marketers stayed with their trucks for four days, and they cannot load,” he said.
