The south-west zone
of Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) will
soon acquire a storage facility to ease distribution, Olumide Ogunmade,
the south-west chairman of the group, said.
He told the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Monday that the aim of IPMAN owning
a facility was to reduce difficulties often encountered by members in
times of fuel scarcity.
According to him,
the facility would enable IPMAN members to get petroleum products at
cheaper prices, considering that the zone consumed two thirds of the
country’s fuel supply.
“The essence of
this is that the association doesn’t want to be part of the factions
that are fighting over positions and selfish interest at the detriment
of consumers and our members,” he said.
