The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has urged Nigerians not to panic with the news of increase in the price of the Premium Motor Spirit (PMS).
IPMAN National President, Alhaji Abubakar Shettima, disclosed this on Monday in Ibadan at the inauguration of the Ultra Modern Secretariat of IPMAN Western Zone.
According to him, members of the association would continue to serve the masses and sell the product at the lowest rate to Nigerians.
“Despite the news that has been circulating, the masses should not panic. We, the independent marketers, are ready to serve them with lower rates of the petroleum products,” Shettima said.
While congratulating the Zonal Chairman, Dele Tajudeen and National Executive Committee of IPMAN Western Zone, Shetima said they had done well for being the first to inaugurate such a project throughout Nigeria.
“I wish them success in their future endeavours,” he said.
Also, Chairman, Board of Trustees, IPMAN, Aminu AbdulKadri, said Southwest has performed, urging other zones to take a cue from them.
Earlier in his address, the Zonal Chairman IPMAN Western Zone, Alhaji Dele Tajudeen said the inauguration of the IPMAN Western Zone Secretariat was a dream come true.
He noted the contributions of the regimes of past administration and other members of the association for the great feat achieved as well as for peace and progress in the zone.
“When we resumed, we were concerned with the way zonal properties were being moved from depot to depot by the various Zonal Chairmen occupying the office. This led to the loss of many documents and items.
“So, we resolved that from the little sums realized as IPMAN levies, we will get a good Secretariat for the association,” he stated.
Tajudeen recognised and appreciated the leadership of Petroleum Tankers Drivers of NUPENG particularly the Western Zonal Council citing the robust relationship that existed between them.
