The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has secured an agreement with Dangote Refinery to lift products directly.
IPMAN National President, Abubakar Garima who announced this after a meeting of the National Working Committee of the Association said the partnership will ensure a steady, and affordable supply of PMS products nationwide.
Girima said PMS, AGO, and DPK would be lifted directly for distribution to depots and retail outlets.
The Dangote Refinery pledged to commence the supply of products to over 30,000 IPMAN members and 150,000 retail outlets nationwide.
Garima urged IPMAN members to support Dangote Refinery, citing backward integration benefits and positive impacts on Nigeria’s Foreign Exchange market.
Garima expressed confidence that pricing and negotiations with Dangote would yield lower rates.
The Association is also preparing for a seamless transition to CNG refill stations nationwide as it is currently negotiating with the presidential CNG initiative
