The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria, IPMAN, has directed all its  members to suspend all operations nationwide.

This was contained in a statement signed by IPMAN Chairman, Mohammed Kuluwu on Tuesday.

He blamed the situation on “the critical situation as it affects our sourcing and selling of product at a loss and the action of the government to impose the selling fuel product at a loss on our side.”

Fuel scarcity has persisted in Nigeria despite efforts by the government to address the situation.
