The Group Managing Director of the NNPC, Dr. Maikanti Baru made this demand on the association while receiving the enlarged National Executive Committee of IPMAN at the NNPC Towers in Abuja.
Dr. Baru urged IPMAN to use its vast network of distribution outlets in the downstream sector across the country to deliver petroleum products to the people without engaging in diversion of products.He called on the leadership of IPMAN to enforce the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency’s (PPPRA) retail price band for all petroleum products across all its retail outlets.
The GMD enjoined the Association to take advantage of the liberalization policy of the downstream sector by the Federal government to import petroleum products so as to keep the country wet with petroleum products.
Earlier, the President of IPMAN, Chief Obasi Lawson said peace has returned to the leadership of the Association noting that it is prepared to use its various filling stations to ensure effective supply and distribution of petroleum products for the benefit of Nigerians.
