The Independent Petroleum
Marketers Association of Nigeria (IPMAN) has directed its members nationwide to
reduce petroleum pump price from N145 per litre to N140.
Chinedu Okworonkwo, national
president of the association, made this known in a statement released on
Sunday.
According to the statement, which
was signed by Bashir Dan-Malam, chairman of the association’s Kano chapter, the
price slash will be effective between February 20 and February 25.
“IPMAN was prompted to slash N5
from the N145 per litre official Petroleum pump price in a bid to motivate
Nigerians to return to vote again on February 23,” the statement read.
“We urge all our members across
Nigeria to immediately reduce the fuel pump price from N145 per litre to N140
per litre.
“This is because of the political
situation that hit the country after INEC suddenly announced the postponement
of presidential and National Assembly elections after Nigerians were fully
prepared.
“We are all aware how Nigerians
travelled to different parts of the country in order to exercise their civic
duty; unfortunately, they heard a sad news of postponement of the polls.
“This made us deem it fit to
reduce the zpump price in order to ease their suffering, and to also motivate
them to travel again to exercise their franchise on February 23.”
