IPMAN Calls Off Strike Notice

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) said it had called off the suspension notice earlier sent to its members.

This is as a result of the amicable settlement the issues involved.

The association, had earlier on Monday sent out a notice to its members, directing them to suspend sale of petrol and to shut all their filling stations.

However, the association confirmed to our reporters that the issues had been resolved and its members have been told to resume operations.

Spokesman of IPMAN office in Maiduguri, Borno State, where suspension notice emanated from, Abdulkadir Mustapha, said on telephone that, “Yes, the suspension notice is confirmed as genuine but we have already resolved the issue and directed all the members to start dispensing fuel since an hour ago.”

In a statement dated February 6, 2023, and signed by Mohammed Kuluwu, chairman of IPMAN, in Maiduguri, Borno State, the marketers were also ordered to suspend payment of ordering products from source until further notice.

The association said the decision followed “the critical situation as it affects our sourcing and selling of product at a loss and the action of the authority to impose the selling of product at a loss price on our side.”
