Petrol Hike: IPMAN Directs Members To Revert To Old Price Of N170
The Independent Petroleum Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has instructed its members in the South Eastern zone of the country to revert to the old price of N170 and N175 per litre of petrol.
The Chairman of IPMAN Enugu Community Depot in charge of Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu States, Mr. Chinedu Anyaso, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on Friday.
Recall that marketers in the zone on Friday adjusted their rates to between N210 and N212, which consequently threw customers into a panic.
The NAN correspondent who monitored the situation in Awka observed that the majority of the fuel stations were deserted, while long queues surfaced at the NNPC mega station, which was yet to hike the price of petrol.
One of the marketers, Mr. Victor Emeka, said the downstream market was in confusion due to conflicting directives from the NNPC and PPRA.

Emeka said, “There is confusion and uncertainty in the system now, the problem is that we are not sure that the increment has ended.
Anyaso stated that marketers would continue to do their businesses with the public interest at heart but would not undermine their own interest.
