In a bid to completely win the war against the lingering fuel dearth in Nigeria, the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr. Ibe Kachikwu has reached an agreement with the Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, to bring an end to the endemic scourge.

The minister, who held a meeting with the feuding factions of IPMAN at the corporate headquarters of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation on Thursday, raised a 14-man committee and charged them with the task of restoring peace to the association with tooth and nail at the national, zonal and depot levels.

According to a statement released by the Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC, Mr. Garba Deen, stated that the petroleum minister told the IPMAN members that they were critical stakeholders in the downstream sector, as their contribution was crucial in the drive to end the prevailing fuel scarcity across the country.

He charged IPMAN to work with relevant government agencies such as the NNPC, DPR and other stakeholders to address the fuel scarcity.

Speaking on the meeting between IPMAN and the Minister, the National Secretary of IPMAN, Danladi Pasali, expressed readiness to assist the Federal Government towards bringing a lasting solution to the fuel situation in the country within the next two weeks as earlier promised by Kachikwu as the Senate.

“In the spirit of reconciliation and patriotism, we have resolved to forget our differences and work together towards providing products to our various stations across the country in order to ease the hardship on Nigerians,”Pasali said.

According to him, all IPMAN stations across the nation will be mandated to operate 24-hour service to help reduce the rush and provide fuel to the populace.

Also speaking, a senior official of IPMAN, Mr. Augustine Erhabor, said the association would set up teams to monitor products distribution and deliveries at all their outlets nationwide.

He assured that all IPMAN members would get their products at official ex-depot price so that they can sell at government approved prices to Nigerians.

According to him, IPMAN would liaise with the NNPC management to facilitate the quick loading of about 7, 000 outstanding products’ tickets for onward dispensing into the hinterland across the country.
