The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has welcomed the recently announced plan by the Dangote Refinery to distribute petrol and diesel free of charge to marketers across the country.
Speaking on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme on Friday, IPMAN’s National Publicity Secretary, Chinedu Ukadike, praised billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote for seeing a problem in the sector and deciding to tackle it.
“If you look at the Dangote statement, it is a strong policy statement, if you read down that statement you will understand that he foresaw a lot of problems in the oil and gas industry and also decided to tackle it. “It is something that we welcome with a lot of cheers because it is going to bring cheaper fuel to our doorpost,” Ukadike said.
