Marketers Spent Days At Dangote Refinery Unable To Load Petrol – IPMAN President

The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has announced that its members are unable to load petrol from the Dangote Refinery in Lagos, despite having paid ₦40 billion to the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).

In a statement on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Wednesday, IPMAN President Abubakar Garima expressed his astonishment at comments made by Aliko Dangote, the owner of the $20 billion refinery, who claimed that marketers were boycotting his refinery in favor of imported petrol.

Garima clarified that IPMAN members are not importing petrol, contrary to Dangote’s assertions.

He suggested that instead of relying on the NNPCL to facilitate access, the private refinery should directly register independent petrol marketers to ensure a smoother loading process for the product.

“If he (Dangote) can be able to sell the product to us directly, we can buy the product, because we have to pay before we pick. Presently, we have ₦40bn under the NNPCL custody but we cannot source the product.

“Just of recent, there are some of my marketers that NNPCL sent to load in Dangote refinery and those marketers stayed with their trucks for four days, and they cannot load.”

On Tuesday, billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote met with President Bola Tinubu in Abuja and informed reporters that his massive refinery currently has over 500 million liters stored in tanks, yet marketers are not utilizing his facility.
